THE ACQUISITION by LOUISA TRENT
|
Summary New Bedford, Massachusetts. The year 1844.
When brothels and taverns lined the seaport's cobblestone
streets, and brawny seamen and bawdy wenches routinely
transacted business between the bed linens before the start
of lengthy whaling voyages, an honorable gentleman of
indeterminate background lusts after a female servant of
questionable repute.
Captain Joshua Kane made his fortune on the high seas,
working his way up from cabin boy to wealthy ship-owner.
Along the way, he developed a gentleman's refined taste for
the accumulation of exotic artifacts from far-off places.
He's recently added a new object to his valuable collection
of fine treasures, a fiery redheaded whore-thief from the
wharves. Henrietta Clark is easily Josh's most beautiful
possession, and also his most frustrating acquisition, for
though the lusty conniver agrees to trade her wanton body
to escape a locked jail cell, she stubbornly refuses to
barter the key to her heart.
. . . because sex is sometimes negotiable, but love can
never be bought or sold . . .
