The Flight of the Kestrel — Margaret Abbey

She was proud, defiant, beautiful. Two countries claimed her allegiance, but one brave man captured her heart.

STORM TOSSED DESIRES

Miguel, her handsome cousin, desired her. Sir Robin Mallory, the Englishman who saved her life, loved her deeply. Yet the gallant Donna Carlotta de Rodriguez could not forget The Kestrel -- or its dashing pirate Captain -- the very man responsible for her tragic misfortune. Who was he?

Here is a romance that moves from the high seas of the celebrated Sea Hawks, to the sophisticated court of England's Virgin Queen, into the heart of a courageous Spanish-born beauty who dares defy nearly impossible odds to save the life of the man she loves.
