In this never-before-published historical romance, New York Times bestselling author Kerrelyn Sparks returns to the 18th century, where the fight for freedom is as dangerous as the fight for love.
Between searching for the missing Munro sisters and South Carolina being all but lost to the British, Captain Matthias Thomas has more important things to worry about than finding a bride. But his mother has other ideas. When Matthias finds a beautiful woman in his bed who claims to be his betrothed, he is suspicious of her identity … and determined to discover the truth.
Caroline Munro had few options. The British burned down her home, and now, traveling with her very pregnant sister, Caroline is pretending to be someone she’s not so they can have a safe place to rest. But she didn’t count on a matchmaking matron or her rogue of a son … and certainly never dreamed she would fall in love with a spy.

Summary
Less Than a Gentleman by Kerrelyn Sparks Historical Series Book Two Matthias Murray Thomas has a lot on his shoulders. Fighting for freedom with a price on his head, protecting his mother and his plantation and now he has a fiery redhead who does not take orders...at all. And she thinks he’s a butler. Caroline Munro has been through a lot in her life so far. Now at twenty-six it has fallen on her shoulders to protect her very pregnant sister and her niece and nephew. The war rages on as the redcoats invade more territory and take what they want. If she has to pretend to be someone else for them to have food and shelter in the huge plantation home, that is what she’ll do. This story is full of adventure, danger and romance. The truth of the war brings sadness, but in her usual way the author brings humor into the story. We first met Caroline in the first book The Forbidden Lady, as a young fifteen year old who had a loose tongue at the worst times. She may be older, but her tongue is still a bit out of control. The excellent story telling from Kerrelyn’s Love at Stake series is continued in both historical books. **Sexual content http://justjudysjumbles.blogspot.com/2011/08/love-at-stake-series-by-kerrelyn-spakrs.html
