<p>From the award-winning author of<em> Sea Change Castaway Dreams</em> and <em>The Pirate&#39;s Secret Baby</em>: Hijacking an Englishman from a brothel is all in a day&rsquo;s work for Captain Mattie St. Armand. She needs protective coloration and a na&iuml;ve (and expendable) white man will keep the eyes of the authorities off her as she smuggles slaves from the Florida Territory to freedom in the Bahamas.<br />&nbsp;<br />Oliver Woodruff wanted a spot of travel in the Caribbean before he settled down but he never expected &ldquo;Marauding Mattie.&rdquo; He&rsquo;ll help her but he knows there&rsquo;s no place in his world for the bastard daughter of a pirate and a freedwoman.<br />&nbsp;<br />As Mattie trains him for their ruse she comes to realize he&rsquo;s a man she can turn to for support and companionship and Oliver grows to love the commanding and daring woman who refuses to fit society&rsquo;s mold&hellip; but both are sure their relationship is doomed by society&rsquo;s taboos.<br />&nbsp;<br />It will take danger and adventure (and Roscoe the parrot) to convince them that the passion between them is more than an island fantasy.&nbsp;</p>
