Heart's Masquerade — Deborah Simmons

LESSONS IN LOVE
Catherine Amberly knows all too well how contemptuously Ransom du Prey secretly views women. As captain and cabinboy they lived together in easy intimacy, and the bold, buccaneering Ransom never suspected that his loyal "Cat" was a mere girl! Then the golden Catherine jumped ship and traded her breeches for ball gowns.
When Ransom pursues her with arrogant ardor, she vows to teach him a lesson in love. Strangely familiar, yet utterly mystifying, she teases and tempts him until his blood runs as hot as any love-struck lad's. And as the sultry Barbados sun stirs their passion, Ransom swears to show his elusive sea-siren the consequences of playing with the fire of a man's desires!
