Storm
The Deverells Book 2
by Jayne Fresina
Genre: Historical Romance
He's nice.
He's the eldest son of Victorian England's most notorious rogue, but Storm
Deverell just wants to keep life simple. Unlike the other members of his wild
tribe, he steers clear of scandal and leads an honest, hard-working existence
on a Cornish farm.
Of course, it hasn't always been that way. In the days of youthful rebellion,
that hot Deverell temper earned Storm a bad reputation. But now he keeps his
anger tamed so well nobody would ever know it's still there.
All things considered, Storm has everything he wants, whenever he wants it, in
his uncomplicated world. And even if life is a little quiet sometimes, at least
it's predictable.
Until a strange woman arrives to shatter his unchallenged bachelor tranquility.
Stubborn, proudly independent and apparently immune to his infamous charm,
Katherine Kelly is a disruption, a sharp-tongued, haughty madam, and the last
thing he needs moving in as his neighbor.
One touch of her smooth hands tells him she knows nothing about managing a
farm. One glance at her rose-embroidered stockings warns him she'll cause a
commotion.
Good thing he's not looking for trouble these days.
She's naughty.
Escaping a seedy, gas-lit world of deception and villainy with a spinet full of
stolen banknotes and snuff boxes, Kate is seeking a new beginning and a better
future for her son. She's come a long way to find sanctuary and fresh air, so
that frustratingly calm, self-satisfied, straight-talking farmer in the next
valley will not spoil it for her. Clearly he's ruled the roost around here far
too long, a local legend in his own mind. So what if Deverell believes a woman
can't survive without a man? Surviving is something this single mother knows
how to do.
One touch of his rough hands tells her he's dangerous. One glance into his blue
eyes warns her he'll be a distraction.
Good thing she's not looking for trouble these days.
But these two headstrong, accidental neighbors will soon learn that trouble can
find them without being sought. Because what's "nice" can also be
naughty, and what's naughty.... is usually a Deverell.

Olivia Monday, an impoverished widow, has taken a position as "secretary" to an eccentric, scandalous rake - a divorced man with a brood of eight children and at least two gun-shot wounds. For one year, against the advice of her remaining family members, she agrees to live in his remote Cornish castle and put pen to paper on his behalf.
Despite everything she's heard about him, she's unafraid. Olivia welcomes the distraction this unusual post will provide— as well as the large fee— because the alternative of relying on relatives to put a roof over her head is intolerable.
True Deverell has decided it's time to set the record straight. He means to dictate his memoirs to this little widow who, according to the instructions he sent to his solicitor, should merely be plain and have a neat hand. Those are his only requirements. He doesn't want any distractions, has endured his fill of scandal and intends now to leave the "True Story" on paper so that perhaps, one day, people will forgive his mistakes.
But when Mrs. Olivia arrives on his doorstep in her leaky boots and crumpled bonnet, True realizes that perhaps his story isn't over yet.
