Two heartwarming seaside romances by New York Times bestselling author, Erica Ridley!
AN AFFAIR BY THE SEA
Orphaned pianist Allegra Brown has a minuscule dowry and a very big imagination. She spent the past several years as governess to her younger cousins, who want Allegra to marry her dashing, handsome, swashbuckling, conveniently absent and secretly fictional fiancé, the dread pirate Captain L'Amour.
Mr. John Sharp longs to be a chef. Unfortunately, when he puts on an apron, the kitchen catches fire. Much like the passion burning between him and a certain wildly unpredictable spinster, who seems to have confused him for a dashing, exciting pirate. By fulfilling her fantasies, can their dreams come true...together?
LOVE LETTERS BY THE SEA
When not responding to her advice column, widow Mrs. Deborah Cartwright runs bright, beautiful Siren's Retreat. Despite a light flirtation with an anonymous letter-writer she's definitely not falling for, there's no time for romance. Not whilst a heartless blackguard is in town to wrest her beloved inn out from under her!
Mr. Patrick Gretham is the man-of-business for a powerful lord, eager to turn Siren's Retreat into a degenerate gambling hell. Over Deborah's dead body! She hates everything Patrick stands for and fights him every step of the way. Except when they find themselves on opposite sides of a plume. Or falling into each other's embrace...
