The Pirate's Seduction


Book Description

After the passing of her beloved grandfather and infant son, Lady Lucy Woodfield is being sent to Montserrat to become an elderly plantation owner’s mistress, mostly so she won’t become an embarrassment for her remaining family. Before she can reach her destination, however, her ship is attacked by pirates, and she is taken captive. Since her family refuses to pay the ransom, Lucy is to be sold into slavery, most likely becoming a prostitute in one of the area’s many brothels. “Bloody” Harry Blackburn is a pirate captain in desperate need of a woman – a very specific type of woman. Harry needs a lady of Quality who can give him a son so that he may claim a portion of an aristocratic English title for his own. Fortunately for him, Lucy just happens to be the sort of lady he’s seeking. Unfortunately, there’s a price on Harry’s head, and he’s being hunted by one of the most fearsome pirates in the West Indies – all over a simple misunderstanding about some gold. Can Lucy be what Harry desires, or will her past prevent her from understanding that Harry needs more than just a warm body in his bed? Will Harry ever realize that Lucy is far more than just a delicate English lady? And will they both manage to evade Boucher the Butcher and find a future together? Is it hot? Yes, it is! Please be advised that this 80,200-word novel is written in the true spirit of pirates, including “salty” language and extremely sexual situations that would be historically appropriate for that era. It is NOT a “sweet and clean romance” and is intended for those seeking a MUCH hotter and sexier read while still looking for a romantic happily ever after. This novel is not appropriate for younger audiences.
