About this listen
Miss Charlotte Allston is unwittingly ensnared in a sinister web of traitors and spies when she is literally swept off her feet by a handsome stranger on the beach. Fiercely determined to redeem his honor after a humiliating military defeat, the Earl of Beckport is living incognito, hunting a band of smugglers at the center of a French plot to invade England.
The enigmatic Miss Allston instantly becomes a person of interest to the earl . . . and not just in the smuggling case. Passion flares swift and hot between the two. But when her attempts to help with his secret mission only endanger it, he must question where her loyalty truly lies.
Stunned by the sudden revelation that the woman he is falling for is the daughter of a notorious smuggler, Beckport feels duty-bound to report her. But then Charlotte is captured by the very traitor he's after, forcing the earl to decide between redemption . . . and love.
Contains mature themes.

Excellent narration
Loved the feisty heroine and the storyline was compelling enough to keep me listening. Thank heavens for the narration of Carmen Rose who always brings so much to a story with excellent voices, accents, pauses and stresses in the right places. I can recommend.

worth a read
A really good story, that I did enjoy!
The heroine was ballsy & resourceful... she had guts & gumption galore... there was only downside (for me)...
In this story, the author had the perfect opportunity to make the heroine a lot older, yet she chose to make her a teenager... late teens, but still a teen!
& yes, I do know that was quite acceptable for the time period, but it's fictitious, so I do prefer older heroines.
For 2 reasons... one, I remember when I was the same age & yes, love felt all consuming at the time, but (many) years later, I can see (I'm hindsight) that it was infatuation at best...
The author herself shows how fleeting those feelings can be, as the heroine who was ready to elope with another man, can barely stand him 6 months later... yet another reason, why a longer passage of time would've been preferable IMO!
Secondly, I can never quite get over the ick factor when there's a massive age gap... She's in her teens, he's in his 30s!
Still a really good story overall!
