"Putney's endearing characters and warm-hearted stories never fail to
inspire and delight."
--Sabrina Jeffries
An outcast on the high seas . . .
The son of a proud naval dynasty, Gabriel Hawkins was born to command
the sea, until he leaves the Royal Navy in disgrace and is disowned by
his family. As captain of his own ship, he's earned his living in ways
both legal and illegal, and his experience makes him the best choice to
ransom an aristocratic beauty captured by Barbary pirates.
Having avoided the traps of convention and marriage, Lady Aurora
Lawrence is horrified by the prospect of spending her life as a harem
slave. Her only hope of escape is a quiet, steely captain who has a
history with her captor--and who will do anything to free Rory. Together
they undertake a dangerous mission through troubled waters--and
encounter another kind of danger as attraction burns hot within the
close confines of his ship. But even if they endure the perils of the
sea and enemy lands, can their love survive a return to England, where
the distance between a disgraced captain and an earl's daughter is wider
than the ocean?
