Shipwrecked and imprisoned thanks to an incorrect map, Captain Morgan Davies has returned to London to exact sweet revenge on the cartographer responsible for his suffering. He’s also vowed to claim the winner’s prize―three kisses―in the bet he made with his long-time nemesis, the prickly, smart-mouthed Harriet Montgomery. His incarceration has clarified his feelings for her, but convincing the infuriating woman he wants to marry her is going to be his greatest challenge yet. When Harriet’s revealed to be the very mapmaker he seeks, Morgan decides to combine revenge and seduction into one delightful package. . .
Harriet makes a bet with Morgan so he will have incentive to stay alive while at war. If he comes back, she will grant him three kisses. When he returns her tortured her by not mentioning the bet for weeks and when he finally does, he points out that Harriet never said where on her body the kisses had to be…so she is left on edge about where and when these kisses would occur!
It became clear to Morgan after being imprisoned in a French jail that he loves Harriet and can’t live without her…now he just needs to convince her of that! And, with the advantage of the dare she made, he is sure to win!
Morgan and Harriet were just the cutest! Childhood friends turned lovers…seriously! Their banter and teasing was spot on and witty and the way Morgan slowly, calculatingly breaks down her walls was so romantic! She couldn’t see past there banter to realize that Morgan has always loved her but regardless she didn’t want to be married to someone who left for months at a time for the sea. But of course, we get our happy ending and I couldn’t be happier for them! It was also fun to catch up with the previous couples as well!
