Danelle Harmon manages to create as much magic and steam in this captivating short story as most authors struggle to do in a full length novel.  As a fan of her De Montforte and Heroes of The Sea series, I was very excited to see this new release from her!  So excited, in fact, that I downloaded and read it immediately, leaving another book in the dust.Danelle Harmon creates the most wonderful, irrisistible heroes and Elliot Lord is no exception.  A famous British Admiral, Sir Elliot has had much success in his life and has had everything he wanted--except for the love of his life, beautiful Pippa.  Ten years ago they courted and he was deeply in love with her, but abruptly she left and he had thought of no one else ever since.Ten years ago, Pippa was an insecure 18-year old who was too embarassed to even wear her spectacles in front of her handsome beau.  She had her reasons, however silly they might seem now, for leaving, but she never stopped loving the brave naval officer.  When their paths cross unexpectedly at the Duke of Blackheath's ball, she turns to flee.Of course, he runs after her.  :)This is a short story that is long on romance.  And oh my goodness the author even manages to fit in a beautiful love scene that left me blushing for a half an hour after I read it.  So much is packed into this story that it's hard to believe it.  The only problem is that it ends.  But it doesn't really!  That's the best part.  A reader can go on to read the De Montforte or the rest of the Heroes of The SeaSeries for more of the delicious characters introduced within this one.One more comment---be sure to take time to note this author's covers.  Each is a beautiful work of art, every bit a masterpiece as the story within.
