One of our favourite historical authors, Marsha Canham’s book are all the more special because they are so few and far between. Rich in history, bold adventure and reckless characters, her books have all the ingredients we can’t get enough of in a romance!
After the Spanish galleon attacked the English merchant ship, Varian St. Clare was shocked to learn that the captain of the privateer who saved him was Juliet Dante, daughter of legendary Pirate Wolf (remember Simon Dante in ) Varian had been sent by the King to tell Juliet's father about a new peace treaty between Spain and England. Juliet agrees to bring Varian to her father-but only as her hostage. As the attraction between Juliet and Varian builds, and as intrigue swirls, the danger of the high seas will match the danger of surrendering to desire.
The daughter of a pirate, Juliet is no stranger to the high seas. In fact, she has been at the helm of many a ship and carries many a souvenir from her looting. Her latest ‘souvenir’ is quite different from what she usually brings home.
Juliet, still seated on the floor, found herself at eye level with the duke's groin. She had, of course, already seen all there was to see when she had examined his wounds, but there was something to be said for gravity and the way it altered the appearance of appendages that were impressive at the outset. There was also a good deal of muscled thigh to distract the eye; this close she could see the indent of taut sinews at his hip, the soft furring of light brown hairs that followed down his calves.
"Do all Englishmen take such extraordinary measures to ensure the sun does not creep beneath their collars? I vow I have never seen a body half so pale as yours nor one that was smothered under so many layers of clothing this close to the equator. The rash you bear would benefit greatly from a day or two with nothing more confining than air."
Varian was startled into looking down. The rash to which she referred was indelicately located in the vicinity of his privy parts and under his arms.
The thought of walking anywhere naked was almost as absurd as the picture he presented now, standing bare as birth in front of a woman who was inspecting his privates with a shamelessly arousing curiosity that caused his flesh to jerk.
Since it was neither the experience nor the pleasure of Varian St. Clare to have any part of his body come under such close and uninvited scrutiny, he thrust the pistol back onto its rack and started back to the bed.
If Varian is under any kind of impression that Juliet is like the kind of women he used to know, well, she sure changes his mind…
She traced the point of the dagger down his throat to his breastbone, down through the swirls of dark hair to the hard, flat plane of his belly. When the cool steel scrolled lower and rested across the base of his manhood, she angled it so that the weight of his flesh lay across the flat surface of the blade like a plated offering. |
