Elise attempts to be a perfect English lady for the sake of her impressionable young son. Her quiet world is shattered when she meets the impulsive and scandalous Jared Amesbury. His roguish charm awakens her yearning for adventure. But his irrepressible grin and sea-green eyes hide a secret.

A gentleman by day, a pirate by night, Jared must complete one last assignment from the Secret Service before he can be truly free. Elise gives him hope that he, too, can find love and belonging. His hopes are crushed when his best-laid plans go awry and Elise is dragged into his world of violence and deceit.

Elise may not survive the revelation of Jared's past... or still love him when the truth is revealed.From the publisher:
As Elise questions her loyalties and trust of loved ones, Jared must discover for himself who he truly is. Join Elise and Jared on a swashbuckling adventure as they grapple with some unexpected twists of familiar situations, and learn for themselves of the power of redemptive love.

This romantic story of loss and betrayal, forgiveness and redemption, and pirates in disguise, will leave you laughing, crying, and swooning. Sprinkled liberally with suspense, mystery, and heart-melting kisses, this is not your ordinary historical tale of an arranged marriage nor of redeeming the rakes. Fans of Victorian and Regency Eras, as well as those seeking clean and wholesome romance with plenty of chemistry, will love this story! Donna Hatch ~ Dance with a duke, outwit pirates, save a kingdom, and fall in love. Believe in happily ever after!Praise for The Guise of a Gentleman:
"Combining Jane Austen with swashbuckling adventure, The Guise of a Gentleman is a fine specimen of pirate romance!"
~ NY Times bestselling author Jennifer Ashley

"The Guise of a Gentleman sweeps the reader along in an almost epic journey that begins in the proper, quiet drawing rooms of country manor houses, then moves to a daring high-seas pirate adventure, and back to England for an intense, nail-biting climax followed by a sweet HEA."
~ The Hope Chest Reviews

"A fabulous Story of Love and Adventure! This book was fantastic! I think I liked it even better than the first one [The Stranger She Married.]. Jared is a wonderful and full character. Elise is sweet and brave and everything you could want in a heroine. The action and adventure pull you along, keeping you enthralled through every twist and turn. The side characters are full and fun, making the world of piracy come to life. Jared and Elise's love is realistic, sweet and powerful. I got so caught up in the story that my heart pounded, tears filled my eyes and I just wanted to reach over and kiss my husband as I read it. I also liked seeing more of the other brothers come to life. I'm not sure whose story I am most looking forward to reading next - can't wait for the next one!"
