Rebel Heart — Amy J. Fetzer

THE COURAGE TO FIGHT
An unhappy and penniless prisoner in her Loyalist uncle's home, Michaela Denton has rebelled in the only way she can -- by helping the Americans fight for liberty. Stealing away to carry an urgent message to her contact, Michaela's path crosses that of the legendary sea captain Rein Montegomery. Even though she is transfixed by his dark, exotic charm, she has sworn off marriage, devoting her life instead to the cause of freedom.

THE FREEDOM TO LOVE
Intent on finding the father who cast him aside, Rein has no time for love. But the spirited Michaela is a temptation he cannot deny. And when he discovers that the innocent beauty is the notorious spy whom the English are searching for, Rein is torn between his irresistible attraction and fear that if they are found together, they will be hung for treason. Yet as their longing for each other gives way to a passion neither can live without, Rein knows that kidnapping Michaela may be the only way to save her from danger, even if the ransom must be paid with his own heart...
