A spirited lady and a reserved army captain-can these opposites possibly find love?

A SPIRITED LADY

Bronwyn Kimbrell has always thrived in the bustle of village life, but with her best friend newly married, she finds herself restless and yearning for a purpose. When Captain Gabriel Marsh arrives in Newford with his solemn young daughter, she sees an opportunity. They clearly need a friend, even if Gabriel refuses to admit it. But winning over the reserved captain proves more challenging than Bronwyn expected-especially when he's determined to resist her at every turn.

A RESERVED CAPTAIN

Gabriel Marsh never expected to be raising a young daughter. Now, he wants only to keep Emilia safe from the whispers of London and the dangers that lurk beyond England's shores. Newford should have been the perfect refuge where he could remain unnoticed, his past left far behind. But Bronwyn refuses to let him disappear. With her bright smile and stubborn kindness, she disrupts the careful order he's built-and the walls around his heart.

AN UNEXPECTED ALLIANCE

As the two come together over a traveling fair, a misbehaving pup, and one determined little girl, Gabriel finds himself drawn to the very woman he meant to avoid. But when a figure from his past reappears, threatening everything he's fought to protect, he must decide: will he cling to his pride, or risk his heart for the family he never thought to have?

Set in the picturesque seaside town of Newford, Charming the Captain is a heartwarming opposites-attract, second-chance-at-love tale. Each book in the Hearts of Cornwall series stands alone, though most readers prefer to enjoy them in order.
