The Pirate Hunter

UNEXPECTED BOUNTY

Widowed by an officer in the English navy, Diana Worthing was tired of self-important men. Then the legendary James Ardmore had the gall to abduct her, to demand information. A champion to some and a villain to others, the rogue sailed the high seas, ruthlessly hunting down pirates. And he claimed Diana's father was the key to justice.

She refused to tell him what she knew. Too furious to be intimidated, Diana threw a loaf of bread and an entire tureen of soup at him. James retaliated with more persuasive weapons: passionate kisses and seductive caresses. Most potent of all, though, were his honorable intentions, for they made Diana forget reason. They made her long to believe she'd finally found a man she could trust, a man worth loving, a true hero who could rescue her marooned heart.
