The Lodestone - Softcover
Innocent Cleome Parker is unprepared for Drake Stoneham, an arrogant gambler who, in a card game, wins her grandfather’s inn. Her mother is an invalid, and Cleome must provide for her whatever the cost. As the illegitimate offspring of a madwoman, she has always been an outcast but she convinces the handsome gambler to hire her as innkeeper. Drawn to Drake like steel to a lodestone, Cleome fights her desire for him as their daring adventures take them across 1830s England, plunge them into political intrigue, and inflame the passion between them again and again.
