The Wild Belle

Andrea Craycraft was the
carefree, spirited middle child of a Beaufort, South Carolina
plantation owner. She was quite happy with her life until her father
signed a marriage contract for her to marry their neighbor’s nephew, the
Earl of Rydover. Determined to ruin this union before it even began,
she decided to make herself as unappealing as possible to the Earl.
Dressed as a boy, she spied a man swimming in a lake. Thinking it was
her betrothed, she approached him and boldly stated that she wanted to
see him naked. To her dismay, the stranger was not who she thought, but
the man her father was meeting with to transport cotton to England! Michael
St. John was a very successful man. He traveled the world for his
family’s company convincing people to use them to transport their
products all over the globe. He would do whatever it took to get the
contracts signed. However, the one contract he vowed to never have his
signature on was a marriage contract. He was a confirmed bachelor and
planned on keeping it that way. But his bachelor days came to an abrupt
end when he was caught in a compromising position with the plantation
owner’s daughter. Despite the forced union, will Michael fall for the
southern beauty and find himself allowing his heart to belong to The
Wild Belle?
