More About This Book

Overview

When Captain Gabriel Drake earns a royal pardon and comes home to Cornwall, he discovers the father with whom he hoped to reconcile has died, along with his older brother. Gabriel suddenly finds himself elevated to lord of the manor with the added complication of being responsible for his 5 orphaned nieces.

He's also obliged to wed, bed and breed an heir on a well-born lady as soon as possible to secure the barony or it will be devolved to the Crown. Since Gabriel's pardon for piracy requires him never to enter the city of London again, he can't pursue a bride in typical marriage mart fashion. And the fact that he only wants Jacquelyn Wren, the bastard daughter of a courtesan who couldn't possibly satisfy the King's requirements to become his baroness, means he'll have her any way he can.

To protect the orphans in her charge, Jacquelyn has to see the new baron suitably wed to a lady of quality. A few lessons in courting should do the trick nicely. But she forgot one thing.

What a pirate wants, a pirate takes…

"A delightful, witty romance. The dialogue between Jacquelyn and Gabriel is clever and full of such sly fun that the pages really flew by." ~ All About Romance

"Loved every minute. The children will make you laugh; Gabe and Jacquelyn's relationship will make you sizzle, and Jacquelyn's personal dilemma will make you cry. A Perfect 10! ~ Romance Reviews Today

    Wish I had never bought this one

    I have enjoyed many Marlow books, however the first few chapters of this one are so ridiculous I can't make myself continue. As if a house keeper would constantly argue and critize the new Lord of the keep she has just met. Then proceeds to tell him what he is to do, keeping in mind it is the first day they have met. Absolutely lacking in building the storyline. Sorry but this is a huge disappointment.

    A Definite read!

    Had me sitting on the edge of my seat anxious to see how it ends. I couldn't put it down and the love scenes were steamy.
