This story is pretty good, especially when you consider how short it is.  While the story is well written, character development is a bit lacking (which is often the case with stories as short as this one.)  Jillian is one determined heroine.  When her father betroths her to man old enough to be her father, she stows away on Vane's ship.  Jillian's plan is to convince Vane to play knight in shining armor and rescue her from her unpalatable fate.  Vane, however, is not so willing to simply throw away his freedom.  Jillian has to dig into her bag of tricks in order to convince Vane she'll make him the perfect wife.Although the story is pretty good, I really wish we were given more background information about Vane and Jillian's relationship.  We are told that they've known each other for three years, and it's pretty obvious they have both harbored some feelings for one another...Jillian more so than Vane it seems.  However, the background information we are given is more hint than anything else.  Nonetheless, this story makes for entertaining reading.If you're in the mood for something short and sweet, this book might just be the ticket.  FYI, this is a clean romance.  Happy reading!  As a side note, I can't believe the $2.99 price tag for this and other St. Claire short stories!  IMO, this book shouldn't cost more than .99 cents.  That being said, I did not take the price into consideration when I rated the book.
