The Noble Smuggler

The Noble Smuggler

Danger on the Rugged Coast of Kent

What's not to love about a noble smuggler? I mean, come on! Yes, please. And this story delivered on all my expectations.

With shades of Jamaica Inn, author Sian Ann Bessey weaves a tale of danger, intrigue, and a sweet romance that satisfies by the end of the tale. What I loved most, though, was all the historical facts sprinkled throughout. From wreckers to William Pitt, this history loving gal was very pleased.

If you're looking for a clean read that's full of adventure, The Noble Smuggler is the book for you. Here’s a blurb:

Despite living at her father's inn her entire life, Elizabeth Doyle has always managed to avoid involvement with the smugglers who frequently gather there. Until now. When a handsome smuggler is brought to her with dire injuries, Elizabeth risks everything to hide him—completely unaware that the wounded man is not who he appears to be.

When an opportunity arises to infiltrate the notorious smuggling gang he believes caused his father's death, Jonas Ainsworth, the Viscount Langton, pretends to be one of them. But when he is wounded mid-charade, Jonas's life is placed in the hands of an unlikely savior: a smuggler's daughter. Forced to flee before his wounds have fully healed, he does not think he will ever see her again—until she appears on his doorstep, seeking safe haven. Divided by their social standings yet united in their mutual desire to expose the leader of the smuggling ring, Jonas and Elizabeth are undeniably drawn to each other. Neither realizes, however, that they are dangerously close to uncovering explosive secrets from the past—secrets that will alter the course of their lives forever.
