Her Passionate Pirate

What do a plain-Jane professor and a handsome swashbuckler have in common? A passion that defies all the odds…

Dear Diary,


Women dream of a handsome moat walking into their lives but it usually doesn't happen. Well, it happened to me today! Swarthy ocean archaeologist Rafael Adriano with his eye patch and alpha-male arrogance is a modern-day pirate come to life.


With my rambunctious nieces visiting for the Summer, I have enough problems without Rafael endeavouring to conduct research in my home for clues leading to some historical shipwreck, the Isabela. I can't believe he offered to play nanny in exchange for access to the house—or that I agreed.


If only he'd stop looking at me as if he knows my deepest desires.
