Book four of the Providence Series - Another Excellent Book by this Author....

Andrew Hunter was once an orphan living on the streets and now he works for the War Department, rich from being a smuggler and rubs shoulders with Ton. He was been asked to protect Lady Kate Cole from admirer who could be involved with war crimes and smuggling. Mr. Hunter wants Lady Kate for his wife and slowly tries convince her... He can promise her a life of luxury but not love. Lady Kate can't stand Mr. Hunter and wants what all her family has a love match or no marriage at all... LOVED this book - LOVE this author - run out and buy it.... If you are looking for a great new author and great series I would suggest the Providence Series; As Luck Would Have It (Leisure Historical Romance) , Tempting Fate (Leisure Historical Romance) and Mcalistair's Fortune (Leisure Historical Romance).

humorous delightful Regency

She should be the Ton's top gem of the season, but alas Lady Kate Cole is not. Men avoid her as if she has the Black Plague out of fear of her propensity for accidents could harm them too. Kate knows she is the klutz of the century, but tries her best to avoid accidents. Yet no matter what she does, nothing goes right. Government agent Andrew Hunter is the only exception to the male populace when it comes to kissable Kate. He wants her as his and actually enjoys the fact that she is a diamond in the rough. Andrew is assigned to watch over her at a party, an assignment he relishes. As he brings her into his smuggler's investigation, Andrew has so much material things he can provide to her; Kate only wants one thing in the world; a man who loves clumsy her as much as she does him. The key to this humorous delightful Regency is the heroine who is so different than the usual sub-genre females. Kate makes the tale with her clumsiness that has every male running away from her as she is a hazard to one's health. The exception is the hero who is used to dangerous adventures and believes a lifetime with his beloved will prove the most satisfying dangerous adventure of them all. This is a terrific tongue in cheek historical as Alissa Johnson lampoons the perfect Regency female. Harriet Klausner
