Miss Pickworth: The Affectionate Adversary is a clean, wholesome Christian historical romance set in the Regency era. It is an opposites-attract love story about a woman of great consequence and a man of little importance.
Charles Locke wants to rise above his family's modest station by building a tea trading business with the inheritance his father left him. His ship is attacked by pirates on a voyage to India, and he barely escapes with his life. Miss Sarah Carlyle, a well-respected lady, wants nothing to do with the ill-gotten money her late father left her and her sisters. She plans to give it away and devote her life to helping those less fortunate.
Charles's misfortune puts him aboard Sarah's ship to England. Their hearts become intertwined, but Charles never suspects how wealthy Sarah is, and Sarah never learns of Charles's ambitions. One surprising revelation tests their relationship. The book includes discussion questions for book clubs.
