Description:
Three young heirs,
imprisoned by an unscrupulous uncle, escaped—to the sea, to the streets,
to faraway battle—awaiting the day when they would return to reclaim
their birthright.
Once upon a time, he was Lord Tristan
Easton—now he is Crimson Jack, a notorious privateer beholden to none,
whose only mistress is the sea. But all that will change when exquisite
Lady Anne Hayworth hires his protection on a trip into danger and
seduction. . .
Desperation brought Anne to the bronzed, blue-eyed
buccaneer. But after the Captain demands a kiss as his payment, desire
will keep her at his side. She has never known temptation like this—but
to protect her heart, she knows she must leave him behind. Yet Tristan
cannot easily forget the beauty—and when they meet again in a London
ballroom, he vows he won't lose her a second time, as fiery passion
reignited takes them into uncharted waters that could lead the second
lost lord home... (from Goodreads)
