High Seas Desire By: Mlyn Hurn (Read Excerpt) E-mail this product to a friend A few dances together, and Lord John Fitzpatrick has captured Lissa's heart. Soon London gossip whispers that, possibly due to a lady's honor, he's disappeared. So do Lissa's dreams. Saddened from the recent loss of her mother, Lissa sets sail for her home in Caribbean. The trip is peaceful until a sailor shouts "Captain Jack!" The pirate was bearing down on them faster than they could outrun him. Lissa switches clothing with her maid. The ploy could have worked, but when Cap'n Jack sees the wench at his feet, he immediately knows he has a problem. Instead of a serving girl, his captive is Lady Lissa Stilton. Fear of commitment caused him to desert London at the height of the Season, and the source of his fear now lies at his feet. What should be a simple capture, plunder and release is suddenly complicated beyond his wildest dreams. Cap'n Jack, alias Lord John Fitzpatrick, captured a Stilton ship on purpose—those ships always carry the best goods to and from the Islands. Also, he knew Lord Peter Stilton's daughter was safe in London. Unsure of the right course, he takes Lissa as his captive…and his lover. After months at sea, her father finds them and orders Lissa on board his ship. The real adventure begins as they return to life in London and discover as much about their own self as they do each other. Just when Jack is sure he knows what will happen, Lissa turns his world upside down one more time. Note: Previously published as "The Adventuress" by Amatory Ink, August 2002. Quantity:

Danielle on 11/1/2011, said: It is rare for me to get to a point in a book where I want to toss it away, but it happened while reading this story. I was disgusted with the actions of the heroine about a quarter of the way in and to be truthful I didn’t get over it, not even at the end, but alas I had paid for the book so I kept reading. Apart from despising the heroine, I liked the story. Odd I know. It is worth a read but know that it is unlikely Lissa will grow to you as the story moves on. In truth I hoped Jack would not chase after her in the end. Not at all normal for a romance in any case.
