Synopsis

A dashing sea captain, an indomitable woman, and a deadly mission …

After building a fortune in the exotic East, American adventurer and merchant prince Gavin Elliott sets his sails for London to begin a new life. Then fate intervenes on an infamous island in the East
Indies where he discovers an Englishwoman facing degradation and peril. Though saving her may cost Gavin his life, he cannot refuse to help the fierce beauty who touches his heart and soul with her unconquerable spirit.

Alexandra Warren is returning home from Australia as a widow and mother when a pirate attack condemns her to a life of servitude. A miracle arrives in the form of a steely-eyed Yankee
captain whose reckless courage wins them freedom and a safe passage home to London. Intimate strangers joined by too many secrets, they slowly begin to heal the past with attraction and
tenderness—until an old enemy reaches out to threaten the passionate love Gavin has found with his irresistible bartered bride.

En realidad 4'5 Estrellas, pero lo he disfrutado y me ha gustado tanto que no he podido resistirme a darle las 5.

Goodreads review by Tammy on October 03, 2010

Oh, what's wrong with me? I should be really liking this book and I just don't. Here's the premise: book opens with hero in the Tower of London, on his way to his trial for the murder of his wife. Hmmm. Good start, I think. Flashback one year -- heroine is on a Dutch trading ship on her way back to En......more
