Synopsis

To escape her cruel stepfather, seamstress Alexandra Cogsworth envisioned sailing far from 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 taking a valuable hostage…not a seamstress he mistakenly thinks is his half sister.Yet fate has designs of its own, landing them both on board the Royal Vengeance. At sea, Nathaniel intercepts and plunders his father’s ships, all the while tormented by his illicit hunger for the tempting prisoner he thinks is his blood relation. And although Alexandra wants no part in this terrifying voyage, to reveal her true identity to the handsome, blue-eyed Nathaniel would invite danger. Not only would she become worthless cargo, but the revelation would surely unleash what she and Nathaniel have been fiercely battling—a rising undercurrent of impossible desire that could sweep them away for good.“An absorbing, fast-paced romance…don’t miss this wonderful debut.” —Jo Beverly“A passionate romance…exciting…unforgettable.” —Amanda Scott“Impressive…this novel has all the elements a reader craves: delicious family secrets, high seas adventure, and a passionate love story. Read and enjoy!” —Susan Wiggs

I thought the story was very good. Lot's of excitement and suspense with drama throughout the whole story and it ended well. My favorite character was the beautiful Alexandra, she seem to be very heroic throughout the story even though she started out meek and feeble at the beginning of the story. N......more

***Possible Spoilers....but I'm saving you some time.*** Was interesting since the Hero of the story, Nathaniel, is born with a deformed arm. So....not your typical physical perfection from the Hero. But he's still very handsome and muscular and every thing else about him is typical romance novel per......more

Goodreads review by Terri on September 04, 2012

Enjoyed it. Wasn't an all-time fav, but enjoyable enough. Lots of angst...and lots of sexual tension building, without allowing the reader the payoff of seeing the consumation, which left me a little let-down. Intricate plot, leads readers on quite a ride. Likeable characters...though I was often pe......more
