PASSION'S
RANSOM
No one gets the better of Blythe
Woolrich. With
her flaming hair and fiery temper, she manages to run Woolrich Mercantile and keep her virtue intact among Revolutionary
Philadelphia’s more unsavory characters—a neat trick, indeed. Though she’d love to see the world, Blythe is married to duty
first. But the restless beauty is about to be shanghaied…
Pirate captain Raider Prescott is a man intent on making quick money, and ransoming a proper Philadelphia lady seems the
perfect scheme—until he discovers that her family has no money to pay him. Now, he’s stuck at sea with the headstrong
“Woolwitch,” a creature as vexing as she is lovely. Worse still, she seems to be working her woman’s magic on his crew,
turning them all into a nearly respectable lot! When she tries to transform him into a gentleman, though, he’s had enough.
He’ll show the mouthy wench that a pirate takes whatever he wants—even when it’s more than he’s ever dreamed of
having…
As their hearts set course for a whole new horizon, Raider and Blythe are about to discover that passion’s pleasures hold
them both hostage…and true love is the ultimate ransom…
