A lady’s guide to surviving aboard a pirate ship: - Dress as a cabin boy. - Avoid drinking too much rum when the handsome captain is around. - Do not let the captain kiss you...again. The last thing Roberta Harcourt needs is to be trapped on a ship with pirates. After she is separated from her father when their ship is attacked, Roberta finds herself the unwilling guest of sinfully handsome Captain Dominic Grey.

Determined to leave the painful memories of his past behind, he looks only to the future and the next prize he and his crew can capture on the high seas...until he discovers and captures the feisty daughter of a naval admiral. Protecting her from other pirates and preventing her marriage to an English officer is all in a day’s work for a pirate. But Dominic is determined to play the gentleman he once was born to be. He tries to resist the siren’s call of her sweet lips, especially when she’s arguing with him. But damned if the woman wasn’t meant to be a pirate because she’s stealing his heart...
