Why, he’ll never even know she is there. Until he shows up in London too, and Cassandra finds herself sharing a house with the most infuriating man in England. Joshua DeWitt has his life exactly how he wants it. He has no need of a wife disrupting everything.

Publisher's Summary
As a lieutenant in the Royal Navy, Benedict Frost had the respect of every man onboard and the adoration of the women in every port. When injury ends his naval career, the silver-tongued libertine can hardly stomach the boredom. Not after everything - and everyone - he's experienced. Good thing a new adventure has just fallen into his lap....
When courtesan Charlotte Perry learns that the Royal Mint is offering a reward for finding a cache of stolen gold coins, she seizes the chance to build a new life for herself. As the treasure hunt begins, she realizes that her tenacity is matched only by Benedict's and that sometimes adversaries can make the best allies. But when the search for treasure becomes a discovery of pleasure, they'll be forced to decide if they can sacrifice the lives they've always dreamed of for a love they've never known.
Contains mature themes.

Little hidden gem of a story
What a good story of love mystery action and passion. I only chose it because of the narrator Beverley a Crick. She made the story come alive as she always does. Really enjoyable. You know the kind you can't put down it's so good. Definitely worth a credit

it was just ok
I enjoyed the writing enough to want to try another of hers, but this one didn't really work for me - didn't really believe the love story - not really sure why.
