You first met Alec Carrick, Baron Sherard, in Night Fire. He returns full force in Night Storm – and believe me, this man’s got force in spades.

He decides he wants to merge with a shipyard in Baltimore, Maryland, and knows he won’t have a problem bringing the owner around to his way of thinking. Unfortunately, this is where the owner’s daughter, Genny Paxton, comes in and presents herself to Baron Sherard as “Eugene” Paxton. Alec, a man of great insight, knows exactly what lies beneath those britches. He gets Genny’s goat more times than she can count.
