My book this week is Dangerous Seduction by Zoe Archer. This has been on my TBR pile for several months. It is book two in the series and it went to the top of my pile when I saw that book three is out.
Book Beginning:
'Trewyn, Cornwall
Wheal Prosperity Copper Mine
1886
The granite room shook. Hissing and grinding filled the chamber."
Page 56:
'Yet he didn't miss the cautious glances thrown is way by many of the other miners nearby or the wake of space around him."
From Goodreads:
"In Zoë
Archer's Dangerous Seduction, Alyce Carr has no time for the strange man
in her little Cornwall village, no matter how breathtakingly handsome he is.
Life in Trewyn doesn't allow for much fun—the managers of the copper mine
barely provide the miners and their families with enough food. Outsiders are
suspect and flirts are unimaginable, but Simon Sharpe is as keen as his
name…and Alyce can't ignore him for long.
As the founder of Nemesis,
Unlimited, Simon Addison-Shawe is well accustomed to disguise and deceit. Yet he's
not prepared for Alyce's dogged defense of her people and the injustices the
copper mine has dealt them. With Alyce's help he can change the fate of an
entire town, and convincing her to join him is only part of the thrill.
Together, they ignite a desire in each other much too powerful to deny. But at
what cost?"

I wonder what is hissing and grinding so? And poor him for being shunned by his co-workers! I hope you enjoy reading this book! Thanks for sharing :) Hope you have a good weekend!

The cover looks mighty exciting!
Hi Jo,
That's the first time I have ever come across a book about copper mining in Cornwall, that sports a cover quite like this one!!
The story also sounds a little off kilter with the period in which it is set. Is Nemesis Unlimited the owner of the mine I wonder, with Simon setting himself the challenge of going down one of his own mines to check out conditions perhaps?
I hope that you enjoy the book and thanks for the feature,
Yvonne.
I like how your beginning and page 56 are connected to each other.
My wheels and gears are grinding too, wondering what's going to happen next. I'm very intrigued. Nice pick.

Hmmmm….a wake of space….I enjoy romances from time to time. Lynn Kurland is coming out with one I can't wait to read (at the end of April).
