BLURB:

 

Tall and strikingly handsome, Adam Trent could tempt any woman, especially in his secret disguise as the swashbuckling Captain Spectre. But when this daring buccaneer wagers a seductive campaign against a beauty whose passion matches his own, he’s not prepared for what awaits him…

 

WINNING HER HOME WAS EASY…

 

Throwing a young woman out of her home is hardly decent behavior—even for a pirate. But when Adam Trent wins the Ducharme plantation in a card game, he knows it’s the perfect base for a covert scheme of revenge in which he sails the bayous as Captain Spectre. Adam agrees to let Lianne Ducharme stay until she comes of age—a decision he soon regrets. For Lianne fascinates him, and Adam cannot afford the distraction…

 

WINNING HER LOVE COULD COST HIM EVERYTHING

 

Too bad that the most virile man Lianne Ducharme has ever met is also the most infuriating. With no choice but to stay at Belle Arbor as his ‘guest’, Lianne gradually yields to her own desires. But there is far more to Adam than Lianne knows. And succumbing to a pirate’s promise of bliss could be the surest path to heartbreak…

EXCERPT

 

Lianne was working in her flower garden when she heard a carriage coming up the drive. She hurried to the house to find two strangers going up the steps of her home. The man was tall, handsome and leanly muscled. Lianne knew she had never met him before, because if she had, she would have remembered him. There was a beautiful, well-dressed woman at his side.

 

The contrast between their appearance and her own current state of dress left her feeling even more painfully aware of her own woeful condition.

 

“Pardon me, but may I help you?” she asked as she emerged from the shadows.

 

The feminine voice that called out to Adam was cultured and refined, but the woman he found it belonged to left him staring in surprise. He turned, expecting to see a lady approaching, and instead found a dirty, disheveled young woman standing at the bottom of the stairs.

 

“Yes, you can help us. I’m Adam Trent, and I’d appreciate it if you could tell whoever is in charge here that the new owner has arrived.”

 

His statement left Lianne in shock. What??? A new owner??? What was this idiot talking about? Belle Arbor wasn’t for sale. It had been in her family for generations, and it was going to stay that way. Surely he was mistaken. She bolted up the steps after them.

 

“Wait a minute!” she yelled as they were about to go inside. “There must be some mistake.”

 

“This is Belle Arbor, isn’t it?”

 

“Yes, it is, but…”

 

“Then tell the person in charge that I’m here.”
