Philip St. Eyre is caught up with helping his father, Robert St. Eyre, and assisting him in stopping an espionage plot against England. What he does not realize is that on the way to France to do some spying, he would fall in love with the smuggler Red Meg. While assisting the smuggler with purchasing the dry goods for his friend, he develops a bonding love for her and wants to end her smuggling days. Now that he has her alone with him in Paris, he has made up his mind to make their relationship permanent.
The life of Megaera Devoran is twofold; one as the lady of the manor by day and the other as Red Meg by night, a smuggler who controls the contraband. She wishes there was a quick solution to her money troubles that her father and deceased husband brought to the estate. When she sees Philip, there is immediate distrust and a sexual longing that she has never felt for any man. Not knowing what to do about these feelings puzzle her but then she decides that all bets are off .
The Cornish Heiress is a fabulous story that continues The Royal Dynasty series. This book tells of how things ended between the father and son, who is now an adult, finding his own way in life on England’s soil. Although Philip goes to France on more than one occasion, he spends most of his time with Megaera. He does a wonderful job at deceiving the French people so much, he almost believes it himself too. But when it comes to Meg, the deception is not what either of them wants or when the time comes for the truth, they can’t tell it.
While there was a continued effort with plots to assassinate Bonaparte, and others of the Bourbon royalty, Philip was able to complete his missions with the help of others. Roberta Gellis has done a wonderful job of describing the characters completely and I was thoroughly impressed with Meg. She was a one-woman show and taking care of her estate was more than she should have had to do at so young an age. I thought she was very quick on her feet and not one to panic in bad situations. I look forward to the next adventure in the series.
