About this ebook

A Pirate's Love

Sailing westward toward the Caribbean sun, young Bettina Verlaine obediently sets out to fulfill the promise made by her father--but not by her heart -- a prearranged marriage destined not to be...once the notorious Captain Tristan's pirate ship appears on the horizon.

Abducted by the bold and handsome brigand, the pale-haired beauty surrenders her innocence in the warm caress of the tropical winds -- detesting her virile captor for enslaving her. . .yet loving him for the passionate spell he casts over fragile, yearning heart.

Ratings and reviews

While babysitting I found this book stuffed in a chair. Kids were sleeping and nothing on TV. At 16 I hated to read and avoided it at all costs but I was so bored that I started to read this book. I fell in love. I've read this book over 20 times and have bought and read every book she's written. She helped me discover the joy of reading, I don't believe I would have without ms. Lindsey. I couldn't believe I would get so invested in a novel like this. I did get angry and confused alot (I did NOT at all like Tristan's treatment of Bettina) and couldn't understand why i liked it so much. I think it's was because love won at the end.(btw her first 5 books are in this manor) I've moved on and thru other genres but I will always read anything she writes

Many will dislike rapes in book. However, back in the day, that was remotely common. Tristan is scarred by tragedy and doesn't really know the wrong he does. She lived in a convent most her life and is ignorant of relations. Good book. Just shows two messed up people working through life.

I love this book. Its my all time favorite. And people who are saying its more rape than romance. Theyre wrong. It is an amazing book and i plan on reading it again. You will love it.
