Romantic and mysterious, The Blacksmith’s Son will quench your thirst for a little historical love story.When Captain Quentin Drake returns to England, the last thing he expects to find is a beautiful woman masquerading as a blacksmith’s assistant…and son. Alexandra Lockwood’s luck seems to be firmly in the bad category. First she sees a crime that forces her to run away from her home and job, and then she’s hunted after being falsely accused of thievery. With no money and no reputation to help her, she decides to hide in plain sight as a young man adopted by the local blacksmith. When Quentin unknowingly discovers what’s hiding beneath her baggy clothes and bindings, the two become entwined in a story filled with mystery, deception and wanting.I loved this novella. There was just enough mystery to keep me turning pages, and the romance blooming between the Captain and the blacksmith’s assistant adds a lovely slow burn to the overall plot.
