Pirate's Conquest — Mary Martin

Willful Starlin Cambridge never paid any attention to rumors that the ruthless pirate Scorpio sometimes came ashore after dark near her home. Nothing could keep her from the reckless midnight rides she enjoyed -- away from the confines of society and tradition.

Trapped in his arms, the violet-eyed beauty felt her resistance melt under the onslaught of his experienced caresses. He had taken her freedom...now she loved to give him her innocence as well!
