About the book
ALL SHE HAD LEFT WAS HER PRIDE, AND IT WAS SORELY BATTERED BY HER OWN TRAITOROUS DESIRES....
Ravaged by sea and sun, Brianna McClure lay at death's door when Roarke O'Connor, captain of the Black Angel, plucked her from a shipwreck in the pirate-infested waters of the Caribbean.
For that, Brianna knew she owed the roguish privateer her life. But after one rapturous night together; Brianna felt the debt paid in full. No one, especially Roarke, must ever learn the truth about her flight from England—for she had a man's blood on her hands.
Demons had driven Roarke until he closed off his heart—but now this vixen tormented his nights and interfered with his duty to the war-torn American colonies. Amidst intrigue and danger their love dares to blossom -- but Brianna's past is waiting to catch up with her, threatening to destroy the glorious fate to which they both have surrendered...
