Conquest in a Velvet Glove
(2022)(The fourth book in the Love. Honour. Conquer. series)
A novel by Ashe Barker
Two rootless exiles, each harbouring a dangerous secret. Betrayal will get them killed.
Edmund de Whytte has been stripped of his title, lands and birthright by a vengeful monarch. Banished from Tudor England, he now sails the seas with his close friend, Christopher Columbus. On a once-in-a lifetime voyage of discovery, the last thing he expects to find in his cabin is a beautiful woman making use of his bathtub. He admires her courage and determination, if not her recklessness. Entranced and infuriated in equal measure, Edmund is determined to conquer the feisty female.
Driven from her ancestral home, Sorcha Fenwick disguises herself as a man and starts a new life, at sea. Women bring bad luck aboard ship, every seafarer knows that, and her life will be forfeit if she is discovered by her superstitious shipmates, but the risk is worthwhile to evade her brother’s vile clutches. However, when the temptation of a warm bath proves too much for her, Sorcha finds herself at the mercy of the handsome captain who now knows her secret. Not accustomed to relying on anyone, least of all a powerful, stern ship’s master, Sorcha is haunted by the memory of the enigmatic man who holds her life in his hands.
Sweeping from the Scottish borders to the New World, Edmund and Sorcha are thrown together. Peril, passion, piracy, and a love that spans oceans, they encounter it all, and learn to rely on each other to survive. But when they face the greatest challenge of all, can Edmund protect the love of his life, even if she is bent on self-destruction?
