Summary: "Abducted! Forcibly taken from her home in New Orleans, Cristabel Albay found herself a prisoner aboard an enemy ship -- and soon thereafter, transferred into the vile hands of blood-thirsty pirates! War waged between the newly liberated United States and King George. Still, Cristabel would soon discover that British sailors were the very least of her worries -- for the pirate captain, Bully Booth, owned no loyalty, no sympathy for those he captured. Yet hope was not entirely lost -- for where there was found one crew of pirates, there was ever found another. Though Cristabel Albay would never have dreamed that she may find fortune in being captured by one pirate captain only to be taken by another -- she did! Bully Booth took no man alive -- let no woman live long. But the pirate Navarrone was known for his clemency. Thus, Cristabel's hope in knowing her life's continuance was restored. Nonetheless, as Cristabel's heart began to yearn for the affections of her handsome, beguiling captor -- she wondered if Captain Navarrone had only saved her life to execute her poor heart!"--
