Nicholas Vaughn is Lord of New Romney and also a Baron of the Cinque Ports. He directs a fleet of ships that service the king 15 days a year in exchange for special privileges.
When Muriel Draper causes havoc on his wharf, he realizes she is a spinster – a woman who spins wool for a living – from the town. Her late father has angered the Clothmaker’s Guild and now Muriel and her brother have been excommunicated from the guild and also left with a debt to the baron that he insists Muriel repays.
She can either give the baron her deceased mother’s wedding ring – the only memory of her parents she has left – or she can live with him at his manor house and be his personal clothier to pay back the debt.
Can a merchant’s daughter and a Baron of the Cinque Ports find a safe harbor with the passion for each other that burns between them, or will title and status sink that ship before it’s even sailed?
review of the baron’s quest This is the first book I have read by Ms. Elizabeth Rose even though I have purchased several of her books recently and have yet to read them I still enjoyed reading this book! Ms. Rose does tell a captivating interesting story that made it really easy to imagine day to day life whether it be as a spinster or someone of upper class plus with some fascinating characters that just pulled you in making the book hard to put down made for a wonderful read!Â
Love becomes the Quest. The Baron of New Romney, Nicholas Vaughn, loved his job, title and home, even though it was considered a Manor house and not a castle. He hoped that the King would reward him for being the best Baron of New Romney by building him a castle. Muriel Draper was a free woman and a spinster. Her father died a week ago and by rights she should have been made a Guild member, but something was wrong and the Guild members were trying to take her possessions for debts they said her father owed them…
Good Story, But… I gave it 3 stars because the story was good but I felt there was to much erotica in it. I really believe that romance novels are very good books and there may be those who love to read this erotic I, however, would prefer to use my imagination. Could you put more books out there with less XXX rated themes in them?
