For the Love of a Pirate

A proper gentleman, Constantine, Lord Wylde, proposes to a similarly proper young woman. It’s a practical proposal that pleases both parties….Until the night Constantine finds an old pistol–packing pirate waiting for him at home. The old man claims that Constantine was promised at birth to his granddaughter. Constantine travels to Cornwall to unearth the truth and, once there, discovers the family fortune is the shameful result of piracy and highway robbery. And he meets the young woman his father promised him to at birth.

Lisabeth is beautiful and well–educated, but because of her unusual upbringing, she’s unaware of the proper behavior of young ladies in the ton. As she has always been enamored by stories of Constantine’s swashbuckling ancestors, she’s half inclined to fall in love with him too, but she finds him nothing like them! He’s too staid, and he finds her too Original…. until they fall into each other’s arms and realize that they may have been meant for each other after all.
