Romance Historical

Cay McTern didn't know when she dressed for the party that she would never get to enjoy a single dance. Cay's godfather, T.C. Conner, needs her help with the prison break of Alexander McDowell, a man convicted of murdering his wife on their wedding night. Cay is unable to resist the challenge, but everything goes wrong and she finds herself on the run with a hairy, smelly, insufferable convicted felon.

Alexander McDowell can't believe T.C. Conner sent a wee lass to help him escape his imprisonment, let alone a McTern, but Alex will take any help he can get. When the escape goes wrong, Alex and Cay are forced to continue with the original plan and make their way to the Florida swamp, until Alex's best friend can find proof of his innocence. Along the way, Alex realizes Cay is more than a rich little princess.

THE SCENT OF JASMINE is the 4th book in the Edilean series that spans over centuries following the strong men and women of Edilean in search of love, wealth and happiness, taking all of us along on the journey. Truly fabulous!

SUMMARY

Would you risk your life - on the love of a lifetime? Charleston, 1799: A daughter of Southern gentility and a gifted painter, Catherine Edilean Harcourt has no lack of suitors at home in Virginia, waiting to fulfill her dream of marriage and family. But Cay's adventurous spirit, fostered by growing up with her three brothers, is piqued while visiting her godfather in South Carolina. Bedridden with a broken leg, he asks Cay to fill in for him on an urgent task: on her way to a fancy dress ball, she must deliver a packed horse to an old friend's son - who also happens to be an escaped convict charged with murdering his wife! Cay agrees to the plan, which doesn't go at all as planned . . . whereupon she finds herself fleeing Alexander McDowell's captors, riding blind into the night with the fugitive Scotsman. Though she should fear him, Cay finds herself overwhelmingly attracted to Alex, and drawn into his tale of misguided justice and his innocence as they seek refuge in the steamy Florida everglades. Will trusting him be the worst mistake of her life? Or will falling in love be the salvation both of them have been looking for?
