The Lytton family saga continues with the great-granddaughter of the
original couple to come over on the Mayflower. I found
THE PIRATE BRIDE more enjoyable
than the first book in the The
Daughters of the Mayflower series, The Mayflower Bride. In
THE PIRATE BRIDE, we meet Maribel Cordoba and Capitan Jean-Luc
Valmont, who are thrown together and separated by acts beyond their
control. Each of them deals with their own life and death situations and
a sacrifice is made to save Jean. They are thrown into dangerous and
complicated situations that you as the reader believe are settled, but
surprises arise in their lives as family secrets come to light.
Secrets are kept to protect both Maribel, Jean, and their families, only
to be revealed when circumstances bring them back together. Between
the alleged death of Maribel's family and her reunion with Jean, enough
time has elapsed for her to grow into a young woman. In the meantime,
Jean has loved and lost and continued with his life. Maribel is reunited
with her family which brings her into Jean-Luc's life once again. Both
are stunned that the other is alive, and they begin to work together to
bring an old enemy to justice, even though he has a family connection.
A misunderstanding threatens the happiness of Maribel and Jean.
Kathleen Y'Barbo weaves a story of intrigue, love and separation and
reunions, and all in God's intended timeline.
Can a former privateer and a determined heiress find lost
treasure in 1725? A brand new series for fans of
all things related to history, romance, adventure, faith,
and family trees.
Pasts Collide in New Orleans
when a Treasure Goes Missing
The last time New Orleans attorney Jean-Luc Valmont saw
Maribel Cordoba, a Spanish nobleman’s daughter, she was an
eleven-year-old orphan perched in the riggings of his
privateering vessel proving herself as the best lookout on
his crew. Until the day his infamy caught up with them
all and innocent lives were lost. Unsure why he
survived but vowing to make something of the chance he was
given, Jean-Luc has buried his past life so deep that no
living person will ever find it—until a very much alive and
very grown up Maribel Cordoba arrives on his doorstep
and threatens all he now holds dear.
