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.

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.
