Intelligent and unconventional Meg Barratt is an anomaly
within English society. Marriage and children are not on
her agenda. Only her friendship with a duchess and her
impeccable breeding prevent society from ostracizing her as
she engages in an eccentric lifestyle. She never flaunts
her lovers or her desire for adventure. That changes when
fate places Meg aboard a privateer ship engaged in a
dangerous mission.
Cosimo, a ruthless privateer and assassin, accepts the
mistake that has given him the wrong woman for his mission.
Unable to rectify it, Cosimo undertakes a seduction to
manipulate Meg into accepting a partnership with him.
Danger excites him and he feels a kindred spirit resides
within Meg. Cosimo uses cold logic and has no emotional
attachments, but Meg inspires an addiction that could
become dangerous.
Always attracted to unsuitable men, Meg considers rejecting
her desire for Cosimo; however, he offers her the adventure
of a lifetime. Unable to resist the danger, she accepts,
not realizing she's entered into a treacherous plot that
will test her scruples and cause her to fall madly in love
with a thoroughly unsuitable man.
Jane Feather takes two strong, mature characters and
drops them in a time of history fraught with deceit and
intrigue. Cosimo and Meg's sensual relationship builds into
a loving one that changes them. ALMOST A LADY is a
guaranteed great read.
Independent and inquisitive, Meg Barratt wants nothing to
do with any stifling society marriage. Meg yearns for the
kind of passion that exists only in books–until a violent
storm lands her on the high seas with the most dangerous
and seductive man she’s ever encountered…or imagined.
For Cosimo, women are objects, to be manipulated for
business or pleasure…sometimes both. But when the seafaring
assassin accidentally kidnaps Meg on his latest mission, he
must reconsider his position. Recruiting his unsuspecting
captive for the danger ahead is far more challenging than
he expected–and far more seductive.
