The Guinea Stamp // The Courting of Joanna — Alice Chetwynd Ley
DARING, SPIRITED, SHE LONGED TO MARRY A GENTLEMAN -- BUT CRAVED THE PASSION OF A ROGUE...
Deceitful Desire
With England under the shadow of Napoleon's invasion, the wind-swept coast of Devon had become a hotbed of intrigue. Spies and smugglers were not the proper concern of young ladies, and Joanna Feniton could not have cared less. Her accidental discovery of hand-some double-agent Captain Jackson had aroused more than her passing interest.
Suddenly, though duty and logic told her to marry the wealthy and titled Algernon Cholcombe, she could not ignore the desires of her heart--desires that led her into an escapade of danger and deceit with a man who could destroy not only her future... but the future of all England as well...
