A Pirate's Love
Johanna Lindsey
Sailing to wed a stranger, a beautiful woman is swept away by a bold pirate who claims her heart — and her body.
Description
Sun-Blazed BeachesWith languid tropical breezes caressing her breathtakingly beautiful face, Bettina Verlaine stood before the mast, sailing westward to fulfill a promise her heart never made--marriage to a Count her eyes had never beheld. Then in a moment of swashbuckling courage, the pirate Tristan swept her away and the spell of his passion was cast over her heart forever. But many days--and fiery nights--must pass before their love could flower into that fragile blossom a woman gives to only one man.
