Our take on the Miss Pickworth: The Affectionate Adversary

A Regency-era Christian romance by Catherine Palmer, the first book in the Miss Pickworth series. Charles Locke, a tea trader's son, and Sarah Carlyle, a wealthy heiress who wants to give her inheritance away, meet aboard a ship to England and fall for each other while each hides a secret. It is a clean, faith-friendly opposites-attract story with discussion questions for book clubs. Readers who want Austen-style manners without explicit content are the target; those wanting steamy Regency drama should look elsewhere.

About the Miss Pickworth: The Affectionate Adversary

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.
