Publisher Description
The classic tale of passion on the high seas, available in print for the first time in 20 years and in ebook for the first time ever... Laura London's beloved novel will be adored by fans of Julie Garwood, Jude Deveraux, Loretta Chase, Johanna Lindsey and Kathleen E. Woodiwiss.
Merry Wilding is a lady of breeding, of innocence, and of breathtaking beauty. With high hopes for a holiday in England, she sets sail from New York-but the tide of her life is destined to turn. Mistakenly swept aboard an infamous pirate ship, Merry finds herself at the mercy of a wicked crew...and one sinfully handsome pirate. Soon she's spending her days yearning for escape, and her nights learning the pleasures of captivity.
Devon Crandall believes Merry is in league with his greatest enemy. He's determined to slowly urge her secrets from her. But along the way, he discovers her beautifully unbreakable spirit...and a desire unlike any he's ever known. She is hiding something from him, and yet, each day that passes brings her deeper into his heart. When fierce arguments give way to fiercer passion, can a pirate learn to love a woman? Or will true love be lost at sea?
Fall in love with the richly romantic, classic love stories of Laura London, as her beloved novels are released in ebook for the first time.
Customer Reviews
Outstanding in every way
This is my favourite book of all time, and one for the true lovers of historical romance. Where to start! The book is stuffed with exceptionally detailed characters - the thought behind each one is evident, and they all play a crucial role in setting the scene for an epic adventure on the Black Joke. Merry is a lovable and hilarious heroine who manages naïveté without being foolish, and Devon is a believably complex hero. The banter between love interests and infact all the characters is razor sharp and full of such nuance that makes you believe these relationships have existed ( and will continue to exist) outside of the time the reader spends with them on the page.
The scenery descriptions are gorgeous bordering on poetic, and the entire book hums with the sexual tension of the love story at its heart. Fall in love with the villain and his band of rascal pirates, with a detailed historical backdrop that adds complexity and stakes to the plot. This is the book of my dreams and I hope you read it and love it too!
