During a time when swashbucklers, privateers, and the Royal Navy battled across the waters, one buccaneer stood out from the rest: raven-haired, green-eyed, and nicknamed the Pirate's Jewel. However, this fiery sea rover answers to no one except herself.
Captain Merrick Cole has never met a woman as tough and fearless as Rafferty Jones, nor has he ever had one as sexually matched. Clever, cunning, and dangerously sexy, she's just the kind of woman that can stir a man's blood.
Following the orders he is commissioned, Cole captures the woman pirate and sets sail back to London where his commander, John Thornton, wants her delivered and hung. But Rafferty Jones proves she will not go easily, nor will she stifle basic human urges along the way. Cole is prepared to entertain her sexual appetites, but can he remain in control when lust turns to love?
