Pirate's Rose — Janet Lynnford

PASSION
The villagers whispered that the mysterious masked man was the legendary pirate called the Beggar King. But in truth he was a renegade nobleman, Lord Christopher Howard, who had landed his vessel off a lonely English seashore.

DANGER
Rozalinde Cavandish, mathematician, navigator and independent daughter of England's richest merchant, was taking an impetuous moonlit walk along the turbulent shore when she was swept into the pirate king's arms. Carried aboard his ship, she entered his storm-tossed world and became intimate with his troubled soul.

UPON THE WILD SEA
Their passion for each other caught fire. But could it burn away the veil shrouding Christopher's secret past and hidden agenda? Did he truly want Rozalinde to be his lover, his confidante, his equal, his life? Or was he still a rogue leading her into temptation, heartbreak, and deadly danger to them both...?
