The daughter of a deft-ridden English gambler, Lady Meredith Banistar was shocked to discover her father had been selling information to the American revolutionaries. But now he was dead, and his murdered--the notorious colonial privateer Jared Blackstone--dared to accuse her of harboring treasonous secrets! Worse, the seductive scoundrel had managed to escape his prison cell and spirit her aboard his French-bound ship--there to awaken her passion with his smoldering sea-green eyes...and caress her until she cried for his touch.
Hailing from a long line of lusty, seafaring men, Captain Jared Blackstone had spent most of his life roaming the storm-tossed waters of the world's vast oceans. But now a false murder charge hung over him--and only one woman could help the rugged patriot clear his name. With kisses of pure molten fire, he'd coax the name of the American traitor from her lips.
