Starstruck (Zebra Historical Romance)
To Cassiopeia Bentbrooke, nothing is more interesting than astronomy, and she has happily dedicated her life to continuing her late father's work observing the Great Comet. Then Cassie meets Captain Devon Sebastien and discovers just how distracting a devilishly handsome man can be. Devon needs the astronomical journals written by Cassie's father if he is to have any hope of locating a fortune in jewels his uncle smuggled out of France. To gain access to the journals, Devon feigns an interest in astronomy and asks Cassie for her help, but once Devon realizes others are also interested in the journals, Devon's plans for seducing Cassie take a different turn as he seeks to protect the woman he loves. Fascinating details about astronomy in the Regency era are deftly sprinkled into Scott's superb historical, which will cast a spell over readers with its subtly nuanced characters, danger-tinged plot, sharp wit, and graceful writing.John CharlesCopyright © American Library Association.
