Burning Fires of Passion — Lucy Phillips Stewart

He awakened her to a world of passion and danger -- and a love that knew no earthly bounds!

On the high seas of love and war, her destiny was sealed....

Orphaned, alone, forced to decide her own fate, lovely Anne Fitzhugh chose to flee for her life rather than give herself in marriage to the depraved Lord Ashmore. Disguised as a boy, spirited aboard a warship bound for the perils of the New World, she swore to keep her bold secret and never again be beholden to any man.

Yet, as they sailed into the cross fire of raging battle, it was inevitable that the charming "cabin boy" would be unmasked, that the dashing Captain Mitford would claim her...that even as he offered his "protection," he would threaten to unleash her most forbidden and dangerous passions...to unlock her heart's unbounded desires.
