Lady Pirate

Circumstances had changed; they had gotten worse. Valoree no longer had to masquerade as her murdered brother and scourge the oceans as Captain Red. She no longer had to command his pirate band in a quest to regain his birthright. She had been named heir to Ainsley Castle. But no executor would ever hand over the estate to an unmarried pirate wench and her infamous crew - no matter to whom she'd been born. And the will had distinctly stated that in order to inherit, Valoree must be married to a nobleman... and pregnant. Upon learning that, the virgin captain had been ready to return to the seas, but her crew had put it to a vote - and for those rascally cusses she would do anything. Reluctantly, she agreed. If they could find a way - Henry and One-Eye and Skully - to put on her a sweet face that would fool the ton, she would handle the rest. Even with a drunken prostitute as an "aunt" and her merry cutthroat crew as "servants". But to herself she swore one thing; she could only marry a man who fired her blood, a man who was not afraid of a... Lady Pirate.
