Description

Harmless Cleome Parker is unprepared forDrake Stoneham, an arrogant gambler who wins her grandpa's pub in a cardgame. Her mom is definitely an invalid, and Cleome should maintain a roof over her head, atany price. Whilst the illegitimate offspring of the madwoman, Cleome has usually beenan outcast but she convinces Drake to employ her as innkeeper, and drawnirresistibly to him, she fights the wish that threatens to eat them both. Their bold activities consider themacross 1830s England, dive them into inflamethe enthusiasm between them, and political interest in France, pulling them together again and again as copper to amagnet, like a musket ball to some lodestone.
