English Summary/英文概要： Brazil and London 1824.
Charged with a mission by the Empress of Brazil, celebrated writer and the toast of Georgian London, Maria Graham sets off for England with the Brazilian civil war at its height. Newly widowed and a woman travelling alone, the stakes are high and when she accepts roguish smuggles Captain James Henderson’s offer of passage on his ship, she gets more than she bargains for.
Henderson is on a journey of his own, back to his childhood home in Covent Garden. On board, Maria discovers both a dangerous secret concealed in a chocolate bar and an irresistible attraction to the mysterious captain. But falling in love with a smuggler is almost unthinkable for a woman of Maria’s social standing. Though Henderson tries his utmost to abandon his life of crime and forge a new identity as a London gentleman, he is caught in a dangerous tangle with a deadly aristocratic smuggling ring.
The only chance he has to save himself and prove worthy of Maria is to unmask the gang and break free from their clutches, but will it be enough?

知名作家玛利亚•格雷厄姆受命于巴西国王，在巴西内战最为严重的时候，前往英国。玛丽塔刚刚丧夫，又独自一人上路，其危险不言而喻。玛利亚遇到了走私船长詹姆斯•亨德森，登山了他的船，情况似乎有所好转。
亨德森此次是要去他童年的家乡，科芬院。上船后，玛利亚就发现了隐藏在巧克力中一个危险的秘密，还有自己对神秘船长无可自拔的爱恋。但是爱上一个走私犯对于玛利亚的社会地位来说简直是不可想象的事情。虽然亨德森极力摆脱自己的犯罪历史，并塑造起一个全新的伦敦绅士形象，却还是被人发现他与一个走私贵族集团之间有着危险的关系。
唯一获得救赎并表明自己配得上玛利亚的办法就是摆脱走私团伙的魔爪，但这样真的够了吗？（XAT）
