Back Cover Copy for In a Pirate's Debt
When confronted with a
forced marriage, Travay Allston flees her stepfather’s Jamaica plantation and
dives into the sea. Death would be preferable to life with Sir Roger Poole, a
drinking, gambling, scoundrel whose advances make her skin crawl.
Lucas Barrett sails
the high seas as the dreaded Captain Bloodstone. He is on a quest
to find his mother, a woman last seen clapped in irons by the Spanish. As his
ship slips past Jamaica, he spies a young woman plunge into the sea. A prize of
such beauty must be saved and Lucas dives in to rescue her. The last thing
Lucas needs is to get involved with Travay, a childhood friend who caused him
nothing but trouble. Especially now that she’s become a stubborn, alluring
young woman.
Lucas delivers Travay
to her aunt in Charles Town and washes his hands of the affair. Or so he
thinks. But when Sir Roger shows up demanding that Travay marry him or face the
wrath of Charles Town’s newest council member, Lucas feels that familiar
boyhood tug on his heart. Will this wanted pirate of the crown, risk his life
to save Travay a second time? Betrothed to a man she hates, will Travay repay
her debt to a pirate by marrying Sir Roger in exchange for his promise to
pardon Lucas? And if she does, will such a rascal keep his word? Falling in
love with the pirate was never part of her plan.
