As a lieutenant in the
Royal Navy, Benedict Frost had the respect of every man on board—and the
adoration of the women in every port. When injury ends his naval
career, the silver-tongued libertine can hardly stomach the boredom. Not
after everything—and everyone—he’s experienced. Good thing a new
adventure has just fallen into his lap…
When courtesan Charlotte Perry learns the Royal Mint is offering a reward for finding a cache of stolen gold coins, she seizes the chance to build a new life for herself. As the treasure hunt begins, she realizes her tenacity is matched only by Benedict’s—and that sometimes adversaries can make the best allies. But when the search for treasure becomes a discovery of pleasure, they’ll be forced to decide if they can sacrifice the lives they’ve always dreamed of for a love they’ve never known…

My Take:
I can honestly say that I am new to Theresa Romain and her books. I had
no idea what I was missing. I love a good historical romance and this
book more than delivers. The characters were endearing and I found
myself rooting for them from the beginning. I am adding Ms. Romain to my
"Must Read Author" list.
