An Uncommon Beauty … An Unlikely Hero ...
An uncommon beauty … An unlikely hero …
Hidden away in rural Devonshire, Phyllida Satterthwaite has always been considered more odd than beautiful. But in London, her oddity has made her a sensation. Far worse, it’s caught the eye of the sinister Duke of Moreland – a notorious art collector obsessed with acquiring one-of-a-kind treasures. To escape the duke’s clutches, she’s going to need a little help.
Captain Arthur Heywood’s days of heroism are long past. Grievously injured in the Peninsular War, he can no longer walk unaided, let alone shoot a pistol. What use can he possibly be to a damsel in distress? He has nothing left to offer except his good name.
Can a marriage of convenience save Philly from the vengeful duke? Or will life with Arthur put her – and her heart – in more danger than ever?
'Matthews weaves suspense and mystery within an absorbing love story. Readers will be hard put to set this one down before the end.'
Library Journal
'The author seamlessly combines a suspenseful tale and a soaring romance, the plot by turns sweetly moving and dramatically stirring ... A thoughtfully executed tale that perceptively dramatizes the tension between the demands of love and commerce.'
