The Hellion and the Hero

THIS. BOOK. This Persuasion inspired historical romance grabbed me by the throat and wouldn't let go.She broke his heart just like he broke hers. She tossed him aside when she found out he was nothing more than a fortune hunter. She didn’t know that he was prepared to cast aside all of the things he was expected to do and ask her to marry him. He didn’t know that the words he spoke in jest would cut her into tiny little pieces.

She abandoned him because her family persuaded her he was nothing but a fortune hunter. That his professed feelings were nothing but artifice. He became a sailor and made his fortune. He's a hero and has every reason to despise her - but she has no one else to turn to. He’s the only one who can protect her. He’s the only one who can restore her to the woman she always wanted to be, He’s the only one she wants - even if the miscommunication and betrayal seem too overwhelming to ignore.

He can't forget the way she ran roughshod over his heart. But he can't forget the reasons she stole it in the first place either.

This can be their second chance at love or the way they finally say goodbye. Whatever happens, they can't deny the sparks still fly between them.
