Surrender the Stars (The Raveneau Novels, Book 2) [Kindle Edition]

Cynthia Wright (Author)

Book Description

"Now a new generation of readers can discover the magic of Cynthia Wright and the rest of us can fall in love all over again." ~ SUSAN ELIZABETH PHILLIPS, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author

Renegade sea captain Ryan Coleraine is persuaded to accompany the adventurous Raveneau family to Regency London to spy for America during the War of 1812. The sardonic Coleraine must take the place of their son, who is in the West Indies, and pretend to be a fop. Lindsay Raveneau, a beautiful and independent bluestocking, finds herself with a "brother" who challenges and arouses her in the most unsettling ways...

Danger, intrigue, and forbidden passion mount as Ryan and Lindsay carry their daring masquerade to the elegant drawing rooms of Regency society. Adding to the tensions are Lindsay's parents - Andre and Devon Raveneau from SILVER STORM - who must attempt to chaperone their daughter and her "brother" under their own roof!

SURRENDER THE STARS is pure delight - sensuous, witty, unexpected, and vibrant with the magic of love. Cynthia Wright has written another "keeper!"

The Raveneau Novels* and The Beauvisage Novels intertwine, with some characters crossing over. Should you wish to read them in chronological order, this is the sequence:

1781 - SILVER STORM*
1783 - CAROLINE
1789 - TOUCH THE SUN
1793 - SPRING FIRES (A Beauvisage/Raveneau Novel)
1814 - SURRENDER THE STARS*

5.0 out of 5 stars I Surrender to Surrender to the Stars August 26, 2011

By Mollie Oleyar

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

Love this book! I read the original years ago and the re-read only gets better!

Privateer Ryan Coleraine is a dark and dashing hero with a past he'd like to keep hidden. Circumstances conspire to reveal that past during the trip to England to help his adopted nation, the newly formed United States of America.

Schoolmistress Lindsey Raveneau is a serious & studious young woman. But her whole world turns on end when she takes a trip to England with her parents, Andre and Devon Raveneau of "Silver Storm", and the dangerously compelling Ryan Coleraine.

Little did anyone know that Lindsey was more like her adventurous parents! Causing Ryan to reevaluate his initial opinion of Lindsey. Plots and plans collide to create a wonderful story of intrigue and budding love.

Very well written with some unexpected twists!

By Gretchen Peters

Lindsey Raveneau (daughter of the adventureseome Andre & Devon Raveneau) meets her match in Ryan when they embark on a somewhat undercover journey to London. You'll love meeting Lindsey and Ryan and re-acquainting with Andre and Devon.

Cynthia Wright wins again with characters you enjoy, historical fun and intrigue and leaves you hanging for that next book.

More About the Author

So many readers have asked: "In what order should I read the Beauvisage & Raveneau books?"
Although the titles stand alone, these two series intertwine with some characters crossing over, and many readers enjoy them in chronological order:
1781 - SILVER STORM
1783 - CAROLINE
1789 - TOUCH THE SUN
1793 - SPRING FIRES (A Beauvisage/Raveneau Novel)
1814 - SURRENDER THE STARS
1814 - NATALYA
1818 - SILVER SEA (A Raveneau/Beauvisage Novel)
1903 - TEMPEST (now available!)

My career as a novelist began when I was twenty-three, with a phone call from New York announcing that CAROLINE would be published by Ballantine Books. Can you imagine my excitement? I went on to write 12 more bestselling historical romances set in Colonial America, Regency England & America, Medieval England & France, and the American West.

My novels have won many awards over the years, but what means most are readers' messages like this one: "When I read your books, I can't wait to turn the page, but never want the story to end." It's been a thrill to have all my novels published as eBooks (newly edited, with gorgeous new covers!), and I have also released an all-new Raveneau Novel, TEMPEST!

Today I live in northern California with my husband, Alvaro, in a 1930's Spanish cottage. When we aren't riding our tandem road bike or traveling in our vintage Airstream, I love spending time with family, especially my two young grandsons. I also recently received a degree as a Physical Therapist Assistant and feel blessed to have two rewarding careers!
