Release Date: November 28, 2006
from site:
Sophie Andrews: She’d rather be in the fields with her hands deep in the earth, studying plants, than playing the coquette in the drawing room. A chance encounter with a rakish peddler has this unconventional spirit learning that she may be a lady in a man’s world, but she’s still a woman.
Ian Blackpool: With his charming, roguish smile, he can sell you bottles of potion guaranteeing love. But he might not buy it himself. This mountebank’s search for the secret of love has taken him all over the world, but one beautiful English botanist may hold the answer he’s been pursuing.
Dark Dan McGannon: The name says it all. The most ruthless kidnapper on the British Isles.

So do you want to read it anymore than you did after reading the first blurb?
It was the most beautiful fungus botanist Sophie Andrews had ever seen. And the man who came with it was a pretty fine specimen, too: tall, handsome and flashing a grin that promised wickedness. Sophie knew the bottle of love potion the roguish peddler tried to push on her was a hoax, but she had no time to argue. One of England’s most vicious criminals had kidnapped her favorite uncle, and something had to be done.
Ian Blackpool refused to let the stubborn beauty who’d stumbled into his path track down the notorious Dark Dan McGannon alone. It was his duty to help. Surely it had nothing to do with the thrill he felt at her touch. After all, love was merely a specific chemical combination. But when Ian took Sophie in his arms, science went out the window. It was time to abandon bottled love and take a chance on something new-trusting his heart.
The blurb is awful. But two historical geeks meet, use science to capture the villian and fall in love? Hmmm….
Hi!
I know the blurb isn’t much, but if you go to my website, you’ll find an excerpt and another description of the book that, I hope, is much more inspiring!
