About this eBook

When scandal surpasses discretion...

James Trelissick, Marquis of Lasterton, will do anything to free his mother and sister from a notorious pirate. Their disappearance threatens his sister’s reputation and future. Desperate after months of fruitless searching, he disguises himself as a servant for the pirate’s daughter and kidnaps her, intending to exchange the hoyden for his beloved family.

Daniella Germaine’s only wish is to be back on the deck of her father’s pirate ship, the wind in her hair and adventure on the horizon. But her father foisted her off on her brother to join London’s marriage market and find a husband. To prove herself unmarriageable, Daniella hurls herself into scandal after scandal only to be ‘rescued’ by her handsome but disapproving coachman who takes his protection duties far too seriously for her agenda.

When the rescue turns into a hostage swap, Daniella finds herself knee-deep in intrigue and adventure that could prove as deadly to her heart as it is to her life.

Ratings and reviews

Well this book had me laughing in quite a few places the mischief that these two get up to is enough to keep you engaged until the last page While this is a new author for me and historical romance isn't normally my thing this re release by Tule publishing kept me engaged Daniella Germaine is determined to get herself back on the deck of her famous pirate father's deck even though she has been dumped by him into the hands of her brother and cast onto the marriage market of London. She knows how to work her way back though she continually gets herself involved in scandal after scandal hoping she will become untouchable to any future groom. The only problem is she has an overprotective coachman who is determined to keep her safe or is there more to him than she realise Her coachman is in fact James Trelissick, Marquis of Lasterton and he intends to kidnap Danielle and swap her for his sister and mother who have been kidnapped by Daniella's father. As these two head North and he puts his plan into action they will fight and tussle their way to Scotland and the meeting with her father The only problem is by the time they arrive he will have fallen in love with his captive a feeling that is mutual and he may not want to hand her back to her father.
