She was the daughter of Duncan Farrow, the fiercest
corsair on the Barbary coast. Born into the French
aristocracy, raised as a pirate, beautiful Courtney
deVilliers Farrow could fight as hard, swear as well, and
outwit most men.
But now her father was gone -- killed by the Yankees.
Courtney was left to fight a losing battle with the
American ship, the Eagle, commanded by First Lieutenant
Adrian Ballantine. His bronzed face, sun-bleached hair,
and smoky gray eyes had captivated dozens of women in his
time, but he held no charm for Courtney.
They were deadly enemies, and before long she was his
prisoner, bound for Gibraltar, trial, and execution. Then
a stunning coup turned the tables. The proud Adrian became
Courtney's defeated captive.
Would she now show the defiant lieutenant mercy? Or would
she follow her womanly whims and give him exactly what he
so clearly had coming?
