Operating in opposition to the British Crown, Dominic Le Veq
considers it his duty as well as his pleasure to capture and
raid ships for profit. When he encounters Clare Sullivan,
he can't resist the urge to capture her too. At first
afraid of her abductor, Clare, a slave, is determined to
survive and to somehow return to her Virginia home.
However, she quickly learns there is much more to Dominic
than their initial meeting suggests. And he offers her what
may be her only chance at freedom—in exchange for herself.
CAPTURED was my first Beverly Jenkins' novel. Although well
acquainted with Ms. Jenkins and the respect she receives for
She was the most irresistible treasure of all . . .
Dominic LeVeq, the most notorious privateer ever to
command the high seas, has just captured a coveted prize: a
British frigate. On a dangerous mission against the Crown,
Dominic should be thinking only of his ship's safety. But
the rebel captain is utterly entranced by Clare Sullivan,
the stunning slave on board. Consumed by desire, desperate
to have her, Dominic offers Clare her freedom in exchange
for a forbidden night in his bed—a night he assures her will
be most pleasureable indeed.
Clare believes that
Dominic is nothing more than a seductive rogue used to
getting what he wants. But she too feels a tantalizing
passion between them, and so she submits to just one night
of bliss. She'll soon realize that Dominic has captured more
than her body. He's captured her heart . . . and she doesn't
want him to ever let go.
