'Desperate times call for desperate measures!

'To avenge his brother’s death, marine spy Captain Sir Francis Ryeburne, has been given a mission to hunt down and kill the notorious French Fox. Ryeburne’s determined to stop the menace who has been capturing British ships, plundering them for treasure and kidnapping the men. Only, he doesn’t count on an unexpected companion.

'Ladies companion Lucinda Challington learns she’s been left a fortune. But as a condition of the will, she must seek her betrothed’s permission to access her personal money. The only problem is, he captained a brig to Africa a year ago.

'Furthermore, when a returned sailor swears her betrothed already has a wife, she’s shocked and bewildered. Desperate to find out the truth, and to claim the authorization, she stows away on a frigate bound for the colonies. But her growing attraction for the captain threatens to complicate everything...'
