Precious Pirate — Esther Boyd

Monique Adamson had traveled halfway around the world, but she had never met a man to compare with Andre Fontaine, Le Comte de Perigord, captain of a lavish yacht...Andre, who had chosen a life at sea over a chateau in France...Andre, who had chosen her -- against her will -- to help him research and write a biography of his infamous explorer ancestor.

It was outrageous! He had actually kidnapped her, only to offer her freedom after three days at sea -- if she still wanted to leave. But Monique decided to accept the challenge. The impending visit of the beautiful Princess Charlotte made Monique realize that the stakes were higher than she had ever imagined. The prize was a man she couldn't afford to lose!

Hero: Andre Fontaine, Le Comte de Perigord
