Talented new author Alexandra Benedict brings us a sensuous, and forbidden, romance between a duke and a sassy female pirate. Damian Westmore, the Duke of Wembury, has an infamous reputation. Dubbed the "Duke of Rogues" by his peers, he is prone to the many vices his privileged birth confers. But when the duke's younger brother drowns at sea at the hands of England's most notorious band of buccaneers, the selfish existence of a grief stricken Damian is shattered. The "Duke of Rogues" retires his epithet and embarks on a vengeful hunt for the elusive pirates who killed his brother. For two years, Damian's search proves unrewarding. Then one day, the pirates find him. And among the piratical lot is Mirabelle Hawkins, a stunning siren who threatens to foil Damian's vow of vengeance. The duke soon grows to care for the sassy buccaneer and it isn't long before he must choose between his desire for vengeance and his powerful love for Mirabelle.
