"If you like books about adventure, pirates, and treasure seeking, with a healthy dash of romance then I know you will love this book.""I couldn't stop reading! I was never one to like pirate stories, but this one changed my view on them. It was funny, interesting with lots of romance. It wasn't one of those typical romance/pirate stories. It actually had a story behind it.""If you like your historical fiction being about pirates then this is the perfect book for you. This is also the perfect book for someone who likes romance novels without a lot of sex."At twenty years old, Brooke Cunningham should already be married to a wealthy older man of means, position, and power. Instead, she's refusing rouge and powder, sassing potential suitors, and staring out her window at the sea, wishing for something more. Enter Captain Charlie Colt, a branded pirate with charm dripping from his lips the way rubies drip from Brooke's earrings. Charlie seeks revenge on those who forced him into this life of crime and Brooke wants to escape from a life she has labeled as mundane. When Brooke finds an old treasure map, Charlie recognizes its value, and they set off on an adventure in order to acquire it. But they aren't the only ones in search of the treasure. If they aren't careful, Brooke and Charlie could face the bottom of the sea, if the gallows don't claim them first.Auszeichnung : isbn searchedwords : 96999
