Addicted to the Duke — Bronwen Evans

A lovestruck lady charms the duke of her dreams during an expedition on the high seas in this sexy, swashbuckling novel from USA Today bestselling author Bronwen Evans.
 
Alexander Sylvester Bracken, Duke of Bedford, has a mission: sail to the Mediterranean and track down Lady Hestia Cary's missing father. It is a straightforward task, but for two rather vexing complications. First, the sea holds painful memories; second, for her own safety, Hestia is to accompany him. As Alex battles the demons of his past, he must also resist Hestia's surprisingly skillful attempts at seduction. After all, Alex has sworn to leave her untouched, and he intends to honor that vow -- until he can properly ask the Earl's blessing.
 
Ever since His Grace rescued Hestia from the arms of a Turkish pirate six long years ago, her heart has belonged to Alex. So when he agrees to help find her father, Hestia is thrilled. Although Alex tries to hide it, there's passion in his eyes -- and a frisson of desire in the air -- whenever they meet. On board ship, miles from home, Alex won't be able to deny her any longer. But with scoundrels lying in wait, she may not live to tell the tale of her conquest.
