Resumen del Editor

Her love will capture the ultimate treasure - his heart.

Diana Covington is a dutiful daughter with a boring future all mapped out for her. A shipping fortune and lush Jamaican estate that will someday be hers, a husband of her father's choice. Romance and Caribbean adventure exist only in her dreams, in which the Black Spaniard, El Moreno, plays a starring role. Until she is kidnapped by the evil pirate Marcus, and her girlish fantasies quickly turn to nightmares. Alex Rawnsley's dark Spanish looks makes him the perfect choice to take on the identity of El Moreno. His mission is to bring Marcus to justice, but his heart thirsts for blood. Vengeance for his brother's murder is within his grasp when Diana's kidnapping throws a hitch in his strategy. Snatching her from Marcus's clutches is easy enough, but what to do with her now? He cannot return her home lest she be taken again. He has no choice but to keep the distracting, innocent beauty aboard his ship. In his cabin. In his bed. The temptation to make her his own grows stronger by the hour...but opening his heart to love may forever close the door on his quest for revenge.

Originally published in 1999 by Avon Books.

Warning: Contains sweeping, high-seas adventure, a feisty heroine who doesn't let maidenly innocence stop her from unbuckling the hero's swash, and a hero who finds himself walking the plank of love.

Great book

Loved this book and the different than usual story line she used. I highly recommend.

Very good if you need a change from Regency books!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, although at 1st I wasn't quite sure. However, the deeper I got into it, I was hooked!! I think this is a great book for those romance readers who love the old days of the 1,700 & 1,800's A.D., & all about life & the customs back then, how the women dressed, all the strict rules of society. I LOVED the ending of this book too! Worth hearing for sure!

Annoying woman

I really liked the plot and Alex, but I really did not like Diana. What an annoying woman. During the entire book I kept thinking that Alex could do so much better.

At Sea With Pirates

The author's description of the surroundings were easy to imagine. Personalities well developed. Performance wss excellent.

disappointed so far .

I'm only on chapter 5 and this girl is so unlikeable I can hardly keep on listening.. I'll give it another chapter and see..

Really Romantic!!

This should be an Amazon miniseries novella!! A tale of loving someone for who they are not their lineage and fighting for it .. to the death if needed. What happened to this kind of love today? Also.. quite a different take on an undercover cop. Never considered there was likely something like this in days of old. Great descriptions and the narrator did a great job at making sure each character had a different accent or tone in their voice so you can distinguish who is speaking. REALLY loved this more than I thought. Listened to the WHOLE thing in one day!!

A Quick One Bite Listen

The story was a bit weak and didn't have any mystery. Pirate not Pirate working for the disreputable former Pirate Henry Morgan. Damsel in distress. Etc. Etc. Oh there will be reference made to the fight and the villain in subsequent books.

a 3...

... because it is not neatly as rich, full and plot-filled as Three Nights.

Great book!

This is my first book by Debra Mullins, it defintely won't be my last.
This story is about Diana and the notorious El Morongo.
Diana was a Scottish lady who was a sassy, no nonsense
lady. El Morongo was a Duke, disguised as a Pirate
to avenge his Brother's death.
The two meet after El Morongo rescues Diana from an
evil man.
