Yet no matter how much heroin she does, the pain that's cut so deep within her never goes away in this story so intimate and compellingly written, you'll feel like you're walking in her shoes.

First, one of his ships holding gunpowder for the war effort is mysteriously destroyed. Fleur claims she isn’t responsible but there are questions she refuses to answer. And then there’s her guilty behavior, sneaking about the docks at night. And her beauty. How could a man forget that?

Book excerpt: He’ll keep her safe no matter the cost… When The Honourable Patrick Cranston is hired by the White family to guard a duke’s sister, he’s relieved. Watching one debutante is a fair sight easier than bareknuckle boxing, at least that’s how it seems. At first. But as trouble swirls about Lady Millicent, threatening the delicate beauty, he realizes her circumstances are far more dangerous than he first imagined. Her life is at risk and it’s his job to protect her. But that isn’t what scares him the most. The more time he spends with her, the more he realizes, his heart in peril as well and that frightens the hell out of him. Still, he’ll do anything to save them both. She needs a hero… But not for the reasons her brothers think. They’re planning to match her with a rich merchant to infuse the dukedom with much needed coin, but Millie will not be any man’s pawn. Not even her brother’s, The Duke of Whitehaven. And when he hires a guard, she makes the bare-knuckle boxer a counteroffer. Help her earn her freedom from a loveless marriage and she’ll gift him her inherited jewels, a trade that will secure his future too. But she didn’t factor in one very important detail. Patrick Cranston is not a pawn either. And he’s slowly, systematically stealing her breath and her affection until she’s forgotten why she ever fought marriage at all. But as France and England clash, the war threatens the White family, Millie most of all. Can Patrick hold back the forces bearing down on her? And how can she keep her heart and the future she has so carefully fought for?

Download or read book The Blacksmith s Daughter written by Minnette Coleman and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2010 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A black blacksmith from Alabama decides to make a name for himself through hard work, thrift and the relentless acquisition of land in Atlanta, Georgia. He has a loving and mutually supportive relationship with his wife Bira, five beautiful daughters and one son who is handicapped. The household is run according to a strict discipline and timetable, everyone to her or his task. As the daughters grow up, the blacksmith is most particular as to who they consort with and in which order they will eventually marry. Suitors must be educated and on their way to acquiring wealth in order to assure the blacksmith that his daughters will be appropriately provided for in the future. Then along comes the Piano Man who has been brought up principally in the North and in Europe, who is circumspect and sophisticated, and who is dazzling at the piano and in appearance. Furthermore, he is about to become a professor of music at the local university. This man is a catch worthy of one of the blacksmith's daughters - of Minnelsa, the eldest - or so the blacksmith decides. Then June, the rebellious youngest daughter has already determined otherwise. She has seen the Piano Man playing in the dive in the forest and this man is for her. To clinch the deal, the blacksmith tells the Piano Man that if he marries Minnelsa, he will be given a house and 50 acres of land as a dowry. For the previously itinerant Piano Man, this represents a grand settling down indeed. However, the strikingly attractive and musical June has other ideas."--Publisher's website.
