To Catch a Coronet

Bag om To Catch a Coronet

"Chilham in the County of Kent to London, Spring 1813 After breaking off two arranged engagements, country baker turned heiress Muriel Beau takes matters into her own hands and asks the visiting baron she loves to marry her in a very public proposal and is met with an emphatic rejection. With no other course but to flee Kent society, Muriel knows the only way out of this debacle is to out stride it by securing what every society matron dreams of obtaining-a coronet with a sumptuous title to match. And after a glittering reception in the courts of London, Muriel's dreams might come true after all. After years serving as a Privateer under another name, Captain Erik Draycott, the recent heir to Draycott Castle and his uncle's title, returns home to find his London House in disrepair thanks to his nemesis, Requin. Erik soon finds while his rumored pauper state has kept most potential London brides away, the country brides of Kent have no such qualms and are more than willing to fill his coffers with their fathers' wealth, despite his desire to remain single so he may return to his ship unfettered as soon as his arm is healed from his skirmish with an elusive French smuggler. But, when he encounters the unconventional Muriel Beau and she becomes inadvertently entangled in his failed mission, he is torn between protecting this enchanting country lady by staying at her side and his calling back to the high seas as privateer captain of the Twilight Treader"--
