THE BOOK
THE BLURB
“I suppose I can’t expect to keep you under lock and key.
You’re hardly a criminal. . .are you?”
It takes a criminal to catch one, and Nicholas Brentwood is just the man for
the job. Reformed in more ways than one, the rough-around-the-edges Brentwood
is a member of the Bow Street Runners, London’s early nineteenth-century
fledgling police force. There’s none better than Brentwood at catching the
felons who ravage the city’s streets, and there’s nothing he loves more than
seeing justice served. Beautiful and beguiling, Miss Emily Payne is not
the sort of miscreant Brentwood usually hunts down. When he is assigned as her
bodyguard, he vows to protect her from her father’s enemies, who will stop at
nothing to carry out their mission fueled by greed and revenge.
All her life, Emily has longed for love, but it remains beyond her grasp. This
season she’s determined to find a husband, which is quite the undertaking with
a hound-dog guardian like Brentwood watching her every step. If he would just
give her some measure of freedom, she is sure she could win the heart of
society’s most eligible bachelor.
Emily’s headstrong persistence challenges Nicholas in ways he doesn’t expect
but of one thing he’s certain—of all the cunning criminals he’s dealt with in
the past, this time he’s met his match.
THE FIRST LINE
“You, Sir, are a rogue.” Emily Payne stared into the black marble gaze fixed on hers, determined to win the deadlock of stares.
THE AUTHOR
I hear voices. Loud. Incessant. And very real. Which basically gives me two options: choke back massive amounts of Prozac or write fiction. I've been writing since I discovered blank wall space and Crayolas. I seek to glorify God in all that I write--except for that graffiti phase I went through as teenager.
