Product Description

One lord. One lady. One scandalous mistake. Can it all add up to love?
The icy Lord Edenstorm is the very man Lady Juliette hoped never to see again, for only he knows her true identity. One word from him to her brother and she will be locked away, hidden forever in an asylum. All for one foolish, scandalous mistake.
Still stinging from her deceitful betrayal years before and wounded by the horrors of war, Edenstorm offers to keep her secret, if she helps him catch the traitors who smuggle English gold to Napoleon.
Juliette is incensed. Her Cornish friends may be smugglers, but never traitors, and his snooping and accusations could destroy them. Furious at his blackmail, Juliette vows to risk her own life and freedom to protect the friends she trusts by leading his search astray. 

But Edenstorm is not the unfeeling man she thought she knew. Nor is Juliette the faithless woman he believed her to be. As passion flares, deceit gives way to truth, and truth unleashes dangers they never suspected. 
Only by turning truth into trust—and trust into love—can they hope to survive.

Warning, this title contains scandalously unmentionable conduct, including unseemly romantic encounters on which doors ought to be closed, as well as shockingly lawless adventure, risks, perils and unruly emotions in which proper ladies and gentlemen ought not to engage, as well as extremely colorful language unsuitable for those of tender years and ears, along with occasional sights and smells which could be deemed offensive to the human senses.

More About the Author

I like to say I live in a fantasy world of endless green forests, cascading silvery rivers that run between shining, snow-capped mountains, and within reach of both a high desert scabland and a sandy-beached, marine blue ocean. It's called Washington State. I share this wonderland with two to three generations of adult males (more or less, depending on time and circumstances), the requisite two writer's cats of mixed heritage and contradicting dispositions, and all sorts of other mossy-backed folk who don't mind the rain that makes our land so magical. I love to fill my historical and fantasy romance with this same feeling of magic.

I'm a three time winner of the Golden Heart and have won many other awards for my books. I have been involved in e-publishing almost from the industry's beginning. Besides writing, my other favorite addiction is designing covers for ebooks.

Now, it's true, my life doesn't always seem all that rich in fantasy and beauty. But every word of it is true. I might have dressed it up a bit for the introductions, but since that's the way I like it, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Thanks again to all of you who have taken the time to read, review and appreciate my books, both publicly and in personal notes. I love hearing from fans, so if you're of a mind to drop me a line, please don't hesitate.

Although I love all her titles, this book from Delle Jacobs is my favorite. It is a classic historical with an opening that grabs and then propels the reader into a fast moving plot with well-developed characters main characters. I wish the secondary characters had been fleshed out more, however, this wasn't their story so it is a minor issue for me. I loved this author's descriptions of the Cornish coast, and if she hasn't been there, she writes like she has. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys good historicals.

I have deliberately omitted details of the plot because I get so irritated reading reviews that are essentially a tiny condensed version of the book. The Product Description outlines the plot, and for those with Kindles, downloading a sample is a good way to get the flavor of this book.

I would recommend this book to family and friends.

I really enjoyed this book. It had passion, mystery, terrific descriptions of seasides and life in the cornish shores. It had adventures, and heroes and wonderful writing of characters that compelled you out of a novel and into their very real lives. A book I feel I'll read over and over again.
