Synopsis

A woman's cherished legacy becomes a pirate's obsessive quest in this spellbinding historical romance from award-winning author Meagan McKinney

The London docks in 1818 are no place for a woman. But Aurora Dayne is about to embark on a new life. With her modest belongings and a unique bejeweled locket—her sole legacy from her dead father—she boards a ship bound for Jamaica.

All hell breaks loose when pirates storm the gangplank, and the sheltered orphan becomes the prisoner of a ruthless privateer named Vashon. The towering, black-caped stranger arouses Aurora's fear . . . and her irresistible desire.

Haunted by his past, Vashon lives outside the law and is driven by one purpose: to retrieve the Star of Aran, a fabled gem cursed by its own dark history. Beautiful Aurora is the key to Vashon's quest. But when obsession flames into passion, he will risk everything to protect her—for there are others who would kill to possess the star.

3 Estrellitas, y podrían haber sido más si no hubiese sido por la cantidad de relleno que hay en broncas entre sus personajes. A ver, llevo una racha de lecturas de novelas de amor/odio, y me tienen muy cansada porque en todas el conflicto no se sostiene, parece que tienen que odiarse porque sí, y y......more

I loved Lions and Lace by this author, so I was excited for this one. The beginning was interesting as the heroine was traveling to Jamaica to be a governess, but then nothing really happens with the story. This is a pirate romance and there's NO PIRATING. I felt robbed. The hero wasn't really all t......more

Lovely writing, and the hero Vashon is swoon-worthy with his dark nature and his vulnerability. However, as is a common issue with some older bodice rippers, the leads jump from hate to love with a lot of it off-screen, and I think I would have preferred more development on this front to even things......more
