The tempestuous story of Jacqueline Malory, whose furious desire for revenge leads to a confrontation with the handsome pirate who abducted her--and sparks a much steamier kind of desire.

For the first time, James Malory and his Anderson in-laws agree on something: It's payback time for the culprit who kidnapped James and Georgina's beloved daughter Jack from her debutante party and whisked her away to the Caribbean, no matter that she escaped unscathed. James is leading a fleet of ships to the West Indies to deliver some Malory-style retribution. More interested in revenge than in finding a husband during her first London Season, Jack is furious that her father left her behind. When an intriguing stranger leads her and her older brother Jeremy to her mysterious abductor, the Malory siblings wind up as his "guests" on a ship sailing away from England. Jack soon realizes he is a nobleman determined to settle a score that dates back to the days when her father was known as Captain Hawk-- and what endangers her most is the increasingly passionate attraction they feel for each other.
