Welcome to Spindle Cove, where the ladieswith delicate constitutions come for the sea air, and men in their prime are . . . nowhere to be found.Or are they?Spindle Cove is the destination of choice forcertain types of well-bred young ladies: the painfully shy, young wives disenchanted with matrimony, and young girls too enchanted with the wrong men; it is a haven for those who live there.Victor Bramwell, the new Earl of Rycliff, knows he doesnt belong here. So far as he can tell, theres nothing in this place but spinsters . . .and sheep. But he has no choice, he has orders togather a militia. Its a simple mission, made complicated by the spirited, exquisiteSusanna Finch--a woman who is determined tosave her personal utopia from the invasion ofBrams makeshift army.Susanna has no use for aggravating men;Bram has sworn off interfering women. The sceneis set for an epic battle...but who can be namedthe winner when both have so much to lose?
