Heart of the Condor

SEDUCTION IS...A PIRATE'S PASSION.

Dear Reader:

I have served the Spanish crown with honor, crossing swords with brigands and cutthroats on the high seas. My actions against the British and the French have earned me the name El Condor. But now I find that my greatest challenge is, of all things, a woman...

While searching for my sister and her English husband on the island o f Martinique, I met Lady Sarah Drake, who would have been abducted by a band o f cowards had I not intervened. To protect Lady Sarah from further harm, I must stay in a convent where she has yet to give her vows. Due to our family history, she is not happy to be in my presence. For my part, I have never been so enchanted by a member of the British aristocracy, but I believe conquering her will be more difficult than any army I have ever faced.
