Nine years ago, Richard Allen fled England and his
controlling father. Determined to live his own life, he
took to the sea and settled in the Caribbean, joining a
band of treasure-hunting pirates and adopting the persona
of a carefree, seductive Frenchman named Jean Paul to
guard the secrets of his past. When he slips back into
England to carry out an urgent task, Richard becomes
infatuated with a married woman, Georgina Malory. But his
reckless attempt to woo Georgina at a masked ball turns
out to be the worst mistake of his life because it brings
him face to face with another beautiful woman.
Thrilled that her solicitors have finally come up with a
way to free her from her betrothal contract to the Earl of
Manford’s son who abandoned her years ago, heiress Julia
Miller is ready for the marriage mart and hopes to find
that perfect someone at her friend Georgina’s ball.
Charmed by a masked Frenchman who gives her her first
kiss, she can’t help but pursue this mysterious man—until
she makes a shocking discovery. Now, to avoid falling into
a ruthless nobleman’s trap, Julia must enter a risky,
intimate charade with a man she never believed she could
love. "There’s no better way to spend your time than with
the Malorys—it’s like sailing off to heaven," raves
Romantic Times. With a little help from the lucky-in-love
Malory family, will Richard and Julia discover in each
other that perfect someone?
