A Spinster's Awakening (A New Adventure Begins - Star Elite 2)
Charity Kemble had long since given up any hope of getting married and settling down to a life of domestic bliss. That is, until the men from the Star Elite arrive in the sleepy little village of St Magdaline in search of someone who is snatching women off the street.
When she discovers the Star Elite think the culprit is a villager, Charity knows it is her duty to do everything in her power to assist the men in their quest to capture the kidnapper. She therefore allows the Star Elite to effectively take over her house while they watch their quarry across the street. She doesn’t need to get involved, but is drawn into their perilous investigation anyway, with a little help from her friends, and the suspect!
Her usually ordered and very spinsterish lifestyle is immediately turned upside down, not least because Charity finds herself struggling not to fall for the rather grumpy investigator: Angus.
Determined to protect Charity’s virtue, and reputation at all costs, the ladies of the St Magdaline tapestry group find themselves with a brand new member, and he is far from pleased.
Angus is a man who lives in a man’s word doing the dark and dangerous work of the Star Elite. He is trained to fight, kill silently, and stalk his prey without mercy. He has never been taught to deal with a group of nosy women who appear when he least expects them, have better stealth skills than he has, miss nothing that goes on, and seem to carry cake with them everywhere they go. Moreover, are determined to drive him to distraction by trying to ‘help’ him with his investigation.
The only ‘help’ Angus wants is for them to let him get on with his job, but that proves damned hard to do when he finds himself compelled to protect the woman he finds it impossible to ignore: Charity.
