Pirate of My Heart

She gave up everything for a chance at true love . . .

 When her doting father dies, Lady Kendra Townsend is given a choice: marry the horrid man of her uncle’s choosing or leave England to risk a new life in America with unknown relatives.

Armed with the faith that God has a plan for her, Kendra boards a cargo ship and soon finds herself swept away by the rugged American sea captain Dorian Colburn. But this adventurous man has been wounded by love before and now guards his independent life.

He wasn’t prepared to give up anything for anyone…

No swashbuckling man needs an English heiress with violet-hued eyes to make him feel again or challenge his faith with probing questions—or so he thinks. It is not until Dorian must save Kendra from the dark forces surrounding her that he decides she may be worth the risk.

 There is one thing I detest about historical romances - one of the parties in love gets trapped or tricked in a marriage to someone else. Without spoiling this book, it almost had me putting it down, twice!! However, the conflicts while frustrating, did make for an entertaining read.  This was not my favorite of Jamie's books, but will continue to read her in the future.  If you like clean historical romance, this book is for you.
