Dance of Seduction (Swanlea Spinsters, Book 4) (Mass Market Paperback) Lady Clara is a spinster 28 year old who is involved in charity work at a home for pickpocket children.
Morgan is an ex-spy naval captian who is posing as a "fence" in order to catch a master thief named Spector. They are at odds from the beginning, fighting a powerful attraction, and losing quickly. The interchanges between the two main characters are so witty and funny I couldn't resist liking them immediately.
The part of the story I really enjoyed is Morgan's desperation for Clara's love. It made the hot scenes practical smoulder on the page. A nice departure from the norm because Morgan is a strong man totally undone. So romantic..sigh...
A note to the publisher...I would never have bought the book at the store with that ridiculous cover. I missed out reading a marvelous book for two years because of that cover.
The only reason you need a bodice ripper cover is because the book is SO awful no one is going to read it except for the sex. Sabina Jefferies deserves a cover like Julia Quinn or Lisa Kleypas. she writes just that good.
