Publisher Description
It started with a stolen kiss …
Fiery Myriah Whitney is wild of nature, contrary, and independent. But when her father catches her kissing the handsome Sir Roland (how else is she to determine if he is the one who will make her feel thunder and lightning, hear bells and music?), he declares that her days of headstrong independence are over. She will, he commands, announce her engagement to Sir Roland—immediately.
But in an age where marriages are about alliances rather than affection, practicality not passion, Myriah wants more—she wants to fall in love. And she does not love Sir Roland. So she runs away to her grandfather with her faithful manservant, Tabson, at her side.
A wrong turn in the fog, however, leads to the discovery of an injured young man, and before she knows it Myriah is caught up in world of intrigue and secrets. And when she meets the young man’s older brother, the mysterious Lord Kit Wimborne, the sparks fly. Their first encounter—in his bed, both of them naked, no less!—is an explosion of wills, and it is what finally set Myriah on fire.
She has, it seems, finally found her thunder and lightning…

Poor quality Regency. Myriah is 21, an heiress, and in her third Season. Her aunts and her father are becoming impatient as she keeps refusing offers of marriage. She is looking for love. Sir Roland is the suitor whose company she enjoys the most but she doesn’t love him. He is in financial straits and desperate to marry her. She kisses him in the hope that she will feel something, and is caught by her father. Rather than be forced into marriage she runs, and stumbles across young Billy who had been shot, and his older brother Kit. They seem impoverished aristocracy smuggling to make ends meet. Kit is instantly attracted but dislikes the secrets she is keeping, and Kit has to save her from the coast guard and Sir Roland’s persistence.
