To flee her cruel stepfather, seamstress Alexandra Cogsworth envisioned sailing definately not England…though not as a captive aboard a pirate’s ship. Pirate captain Nathaniel Kent’s strategy for exacting revenge on his coldhearted father involved going for a precious hostage…not really a seamstress he mistakenly thinks is his about half sister. Yet destiny has designs of its own, getting them both on board the Royal Vengeance. At ocean, Nathaniel intercepts and plunders his father’s ships, all the while tormented about Of Noble Birth by his illicit craving for food for the tempting prisoner he feels is his bloodstream relation. And although Alexandra wants no part with this terrifying voyage, to disclose her true identity to the good looking, blue-eyed Nathaniel would request danger. Not only would she become worthless cargo, but the revelation would definitely unleash what she and Nathaniel have been fiercely fighting – a increasing undercurrent of difficult desire that could sweep them apart once and for all. “An absorbing, fast-paced romance…don’t miss this wonderful debut.” – Jo Beverly “A passionate romance…exciting…unforgettable.” – Amanda Scott “Amazing…this novel has all of the elements a reader craves: delicious family secrets, high seas adventure, and a passionate love story.
