Josephine Hale, an unconventional young lady, dreams not of
marriage but of the adventures of her pirate grandfather.
He had entertained Josie for hours with tales of his
exploits and whispers of his secret treasure. At his death,
Josie vowed to find the treasure and remove the stain of
murder from his name. In order to accomplish her goal,
Josie needs the help of her family's sworn enemy, Lord
Westman. A rake who's recently returned from exile in
India, Josie believes she can seduce him into giving her
his half of the treasure map. And having decided never to
marry, Lord Westman would be perfect as her first lover.
Stephen Doubleday, dubbed the black sheep by his family,
returns to England after the death of his brother. He
inherits the title and the job to restore the family
fortune, a thankless task. His mother adored her oldest son
and rejects Stephen as worthless and not deserving of a
second chance. Reforming will not change her mind. When he
catches his delectable neighbor climbing in his window,
Stephen bargains to become her partner in locating the
treasure.
Stephen finds treasure hunting with the audacious and
outlandish Josie a thrilling adventure. He gains a
magnificent lover and an intelligent friend. However,
Stephen cannot accept her as his equal and that's fighting
words to Josie. The battle between them is postponed when
someone else wants the treasure enough to kill the
competition.
Get swept away with a fun-loving heroine and a sensual hero
on an exciting treasure hunt. There's never a dull moment
as Josie and Stephen tackle the challenges placed before
them. GOOD GROOM HUNTING shines from beginning to end.
Adventurous Josephine Hale is determined to live up to her
scandalous heritage. With half of a crumbling treasure map
that belonged to her grandfather, the legendary pirate, in
her possession, the bold and beautiful lady is half-way to
a fortune. Unfortunately, the remainder of the map belongs
to Stephen Doubleday, Earl of Westman, her family's sworn
enemy—and Josie will do anything to get her hands on
it...even if it means seducing the handsome rogue.
And a passion beyond dreams
Utterly destitute, Stephen never dreamed a fairy tale about
pirate's treasure would turn out to be true—bringing him a
possible fortune and a passionate lover. But will joining
in this wild, impetuous beauty's perilous undertaking be
the biggest mistake of his life? Or will it lead Stephen
and Josie to a treasure far more precious than pirate gold—
a fiery and forever love?
