An Inconvenient Mistress — Caroline Kimberly
From the author of An Inconvenient Kiss: A prim Englishwoman needs to escape the Caribbean -- and a seductive smuggler is her only hope . . .
Jamaica, 1820: Isabelle North needs a hero, and if an arrogant mercenary is all she can find . . . he'll just have to do. She must get back to England before her past catches up with her, even if that means booking passage on a vessel captained by a man she cannot abide.
Phillip Ashford, notorious smuggler and captain of the privateer Intrepid, knows Miss North is trouble. She's stubborn, for starters, and it's painfully clear she's conning him -- she looks more like a schoolmarm than the rich man's mistress she claims to be. But beneath her prim exterior is a sharp wit and courageous spirit that draws him in despite himself.
They both know they should keep their distance. But passion flares as they defend themselves on the high seas -- until Phillip begins asking questions Isabelle would rather not answer. After all, how much can she really share with a man she'll never trust?
