A Night to Surrender

Welcome to Spindle Cove, where the ladies with 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 for certain 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 doesnamp;#8217;t belong here. So far as he can tell, thereamp;#8217;s nothing in this place but spinsters . . . and sheep. But he has no choice, he has orders to gather a militia. Itamp;#8217;s a simple mission, made complicated by the spirited, exquisite Susanna Finchamp;#8212;a woman who is determined to save her personal utopia from the invasion of Bramamp;#8217;s makeshift army.

Susanna has no use for aggravating men; Bram has sworn off interfering women. The scene is set for an epic battleamp;#8230;but who can be named the winner when both have so much to lose?
