Captain Brocade and His Prize

Melissa Clark was walking in a downpour on a city street in New York in
1987 when lightning strike nearby. After the flash, life as she knew it changed
for her. For the city street now was a country lane and a handsome man in a
blue spangled coat on horseback suddenly appear before her. She found the
supposedly wet paved road, a dry dirt road and instead of a city curb, shrubs
appeared on both sides of the street.

Captain Thomas Brocade was traveling with a handful of his crew one
clear evening in Bristol, England, in 1687 when a body suddenly appeared
before him. Instinctively the body rolled into the brush before his horse could
step on it. Once he realized it was a lady, he leaped from his horse to come
to her aid, offering his hand to her. But the lady was no lady, she slapped his
hand away and rose on her own. He could see the angry fire in her eyes and
was enthralled with the young lady before him. She was full of spirit, unlike
any woman he had ever encountered before. Her manner of speech, her dress,
and attribute was intriguing.

But her talk concerned him also. Was she mad, or was she in fact a time
traveler from the future? Either way, he must have her, no matter what she
wanted. So the captain took her by force to his ship and set sail for the West
Indies.

Melissa discovered he and his crew were pirates, and his destination was
Port Royal, the wickedest city in the world. And the captain's interest in her
was to make her his life-long companion, his woman, the captain's tart, or give
her to his crew for their pleasures if she refused him.

Here's where the battle of the sexes fight to death. And the modern
world and the age-old beliefs debate for supremacy where two quite different
personalities clash.

Will the beautiful Melissa win the war and return to her time and home?
Or will the handsome Thomas win this war, her heart, and keep her with him
for their lifetime?

Among the adventures was a visit to South Caroline and a pirate island.
Along the way, they encountered a massive storm, battles with enemy ships,
and a pair of dolphins at play.
