English beauty Anne Morgan, a practical woman who stopped waiting for love, wed a Spanish diplomat to forge an alliance between their warring countries. But when her husband disappears overboard after their ship is attacked by a privateer, Anne suddenly finds herself forced into a duel of wits, willpower, and dangerous passion with their rugged captain Jonathan Leighton.
Feisty Anne Morgan is returning to England from Spain with her new husband - an ambassador when the ship she is on is set upon by English privateer, Jonathan Leighton. In the ensuing battle, Anne's husband panicks and jumps overboard rather than be taken prisoner. Anne blames Jonathan for her husband's death. Jonathan, on the other hand, suspects Anne of being in league with her husband in a plot against Queen Elizabeth. Jonathan takes Anne as his prisoner, determined to find out the truth. Alas, he has met more than his match. Anne soon charms the crew and instigates a mutiny.I was intrigued with this book right from the start. The story is very good and is skillfully woven into a tapistry of Elizabeth history. I would recommend this very highly.
