Surrendering to the Gentleman Pirate
1750, Pembrokeshire WalesBronwyn Rees is about to marry Leonard Price Viscount of Pembroke, the most eligible peer west of Bristol, when her idyllic, coastal wedding is besieged by pirates. After her first love drowned in the Celtic Sea, she fears the ghosts of her tortured past will sail with her as she is kidnapped onto the ominously named ship, The Serpent. Still, she is sure her betrothed will save her from this toothless band of unwashed knaves. She is less sure about how long she can ignore the potent desire that surfaces whenever she is in the presence of their charismatic but fiercely vengeful captain.
American privateer turned pirate Captain Miles Nash has spent seven years plotting his revenge on Leonard Price. The ruthless viscount masterminded the ruin and death of the one woman he has ever loved and Nash intends to repay the favour. There’s just one problem: Bronwyn Rees is not quite the haughty, dismissive lady he was expecting and the soft lilt of her Welsh accent enchants him like no other voice has before.
While Bronwyn and Miles weather the various storms of sea-life and the captain’s revenge plot only thickens, she will have to decide if her destiny lies at the side of the viscount or in the arms of her gentleman pirate.
