Cassandra didn't know what was wrong with her. Why didn't any of the Earls and Barons appeal to her? As a woman of four and twenty living in 1804 England, she was expected to be wed by now. After running away from an embarassing dance lesson, she ends up at The Vixen Inn, run by her friend, Sophia Brook. While there, a bounty hunter and his prisoner,Jeremy Hawkins, seek refuge from a storm. Can the outlaw pirate, set for a date with the gallows, be the man who can give her what she craves? I read some of the comments where people were upset about the mores of the time. It's not my personal belief. I'm just reflecting what people believed in those days. I appreciate comments. Most people don't use swear words, and I and most readers appreciate that. Please refrain from using swear words in your comments.
