Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
- Grab your current read
- Open to a random page
- Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
Share the title and author, too, so that other Teaser Tuesday participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers.
Teaser Tuesday #31 – A Gentleman ‘Til Midnight
A Gentleman ‘Til Midnight – Alison DeLaine
The complication they don’t want……
Lady Katherine Kinloch survived captivity once. Now the notorious captain of her own ship, she refuses to let anyone jeopardize her hard-won freedom. But on a voyage to England to fight for her family’s endangered estate, Katherine is thrown off course when she unknowingly rescues celebrated naval captain James Warre…, a man who stands for everything she despises.
The passion they desperately need……
Haunted by regret for his role in her dark past, James is determined to be more than the cold, calculating officer Katherine expects. Her seduction is his obsession, but his pride hangs in the balance if he gives in to temptation. And hiding beneath the scorching attraction between them lies a secret that could force the two apart for good.

So far I’m really enjoying this story, the female main character is the captain of a ship, on her way back to England after ten years abroad, some of those years as a captive of Moores.
What’s your teaser today? Please share – it’s not as if a few more books on my TBR mountain will make that big of a difference 😉
Interesting tease! Totally new to me read! Hope you enjoy the rest!
Here’s my Tuesday Post
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower 🙂
This is a captivating story so far, Jessica 🙂 Thanks for stopping by.
It definitely sounds like my kind of read! 😉
Thanks for sharing, Lexxie 🙂
Yes, I think this is right up your alley, Silvia 🙂 Thanks for stopping by.
Cool one! It seems that I often see you give teasers from historical romances, hehe. ^^ It’s interesting that the girl is the captain of the ship!
LOL, it seems that I’m in the mood for historical romances on Tuesday… I wonder if that means something?

I’m loving it, Nikita! Thanks for stopping by.
Thanks for the teaser, Lexxie. It has me curious. But I’m especially curious about the female MC – a captain of a ship?!? That’s fantastic! I can’t wait to see your review.
So I’m back from vacation now. And I’m decompressing. 🙂 I’ll be working at catching up in the virtual world for the next few days. I can’t believe how much I miss in a little over a week. The trip was fabulous, if exhausting. We toured some great historical sites – Thomas Jefferson’s home, Gettysburg battlefields and museum, and Washington D.C. And we spent a day and a half on the Jersey shore. That was nice. We visited 4 universities…Sky was impressed with them all but liked one in particular. We’ll visit a few on the west coast over the next year so she can narrow down her choices. 🙂 I’ve missed you and I hope things in your world are going splendidly. Have you heard back on that last paper yet? Do you have that degree??? I will try to catch you on fb to chat later today or tomorrow. Happy Tuesday!! *BIG HUGS*

OMG love the teaser. This sounds great. Here is my TT http://cynthiastacey.com/2014/08/05/teaser-tuesday-aug-4/
Love your funny Teaser! I’m envisioning the “musicale” evenings where marriage-minded young ladies sang or played the piano. That must have been torture for eligible men!
Well he doesn’t sound too impressed by that gathering. I do hope you are enjoying your read. Thanks for visiting my TT earlier 🙂
Ooh, pretty dress on the cover. I am sucker for those!
Ohh great teaser! I haven’t read too many Historical Romances, but this sounds really intriguing. I think I might be missing out on some good books! Hope you love it, look forward to reading your review 🙂
