Responsibility knocks, and a reckless, hedonistic man
responds and opens the door to love—thus is a daredevil
snared.
#1 New York Times bestselling author
Stephanie Laurens brings you the third installment in THE
ADVENTURERS QUARTET, continuing the drama of Regency-era
high seas adventure, laced with a mystery shrouded in the
heat of tropical jungles, and spiced with the passionate
romances of four couples and their unexpected journeys into
love.
Captain Caleb Frobisher, hedonistic
youngest son of a seafaring dynasty, wants to be taken
seriously by his family, and understands he has to prove
himself sufficiently reformed. When opportunity strikes, he
seizes the next leg of the covert mission his brothers have
been pursuing and sails to Freetown. His actions are
decisive, and he completes the mission's next stage—but
responsibility, once exercised, has taken root, and he
remains in the jungle to guard the captives whose rescue is
the mission's ultimate goal.
Katherine Fortescue has
fled the life of poverty her wastrel father had bequeathed
her and come to Freetown as a governess, only to be
kidnapped and put to work overseeing a child workforce at a
mine. She and the other captured adults understand that
their lives are limited by the life of the mine. Guarded by
well-armed and well-trained mercenaries, the captives have
been searching for some means of escape, but in vain. Then
Katherine meets a handsome man—a captain—in the jungle, and
he and his crew bring the sweet promise of rescue.
The sadistic mercenary captain who runs the mine has other
ideas, but Caleb's true strength lies in extracting
advantage from adversity, and through the clashes that
follow, he matures into the leader of men he was always
destined to be. The sort of man Katherine can trust—with her
body, with her life. With her love.
The first
voyage is one of exploration, the second one of discovery.
The third journey brings maturity, while the fourth is a
voyage of second chances. Continue the journey and follow
the adventure, the mystery, and the romances to the dramatic
end.
