The Wolf's Promise — Alice Thornton

Lady Angelica Lennard took matters into her own hands. Her brother needed bringing out of France and Benoit Faulkner owned a debt to her father. In view of her father's blindness, she would go herself to persuade Benoit to rescue Harry. Fully expecting a piratical smuggler, Angelica was mortified to discover a respectable ship owner - or was her? Some things didn't add up, but somehow Benoit didn't seem a stranger. Was she imagining the warmth and intimacy? When she fell into danger and Benoit's steely will showed through, she was sure of it!
