À propos de cet ebook

A widow is recruited to turn a former pirate into a gentleman worthy of the title he will inherit in this Regency from a New York Times bestselling author.

Dying without legitimate issue, the late Earl of Rochester sent his butler extraordinaire, Reeves, to find his wild, illegitimate children and “civilize” them. Reeves must seek out the first of the earl’s arrogant sons, Captain Tristan Llevanth, a one-time pirate, and teach him to be a gentleman.

Wounded, Tristan Llevanth will never again sail the seas he loves. Life has no more challenges. Or so he thinks, until Reeves brings a certain outspoken lady into the captain’s uncultured household . . .

Reeves believes Tristan needs a spark to relight the fires of his soul. And who better than lovely Prudence Thistlewaite, the bane of the captain’s existence? Prudence wants nothing to do with her wickedly handsome, ill-tempered neighbor. Still, she cannot refuse the outlandish sum Reeves offers to smooth Tristan’s rough edges.

Can Prudence tame the rakish captain?
