Miss Poppy Summers is determined to keep her familyβs fishing business afloat. Her poor widowed father has fallen ill, and her foolhardy brother has moved to London, leaving her precious little time to read or pursue her own dreams. But sheβll do anything for her family, so she cheerfully spends mornings in her rowboat, casting her nets. The very last thing Poppy expects or wants to find tangled in them is a dangerously attractive man. Especially one with a head woundβwhoβs convinced heβs a duke.
Andrew KeaneΒ isΒ the Duke of Hawking, but heβs having the devil of a time convincing his fiery-haired rescuer of that fact. The truth is he came to the seaside resort of Bellehaven Bay to escape his life in London.
Unfortunately,Β someoneΒ in Bellehaven wants to kill himβand he intends to find out who. He implores Poppy to tend to his injuries and hide him on her beach, reasoning it will be easier to find his attacker if that man assumes Keane is already dead. She wants no part of the scheme but canβt refuse the generous sum he offers in exchange for food and shelter while he recovers. Itβs a mutually beneficial business arrangementβ¦nothing more.
