The Pirate Wore White

AS THE DAUGHTER OF A PIRATE, THE SEA WAS HER DESTINY. BUT WILL IT TAKE A BATTLE AGAINST THE MAN SHE LOVES TO LAY CLAIM TO HER FUTURE? ALICIA STEELE is the daughter of a pirate. Adventure is what she craves.  It's in her blood. Escaping a loveless marriage and eager to claim her destiny, she travels across the wide ocean to the elegant coastal village of North Carolina known as Black Point, where, by pure grit and determination, Alicia claims her heritage as a captain. RICHARD DUNBAR is adrift. After the ship he was charged to protect was stolen and he unceremoniously tied naked to the dock by those doing the stealing, his disgrace and dismissal from the British Navy was guaranteed. It's only because of his father's money he wasn't cast aside by society, as well. Too rich to ignore, too poor to matter, Richard finds his only solace at the bottom of a cut-crystal bottle of the finest brandy. And now he's forced by social protocol to watch his best friend's sister, the forbidden girl who's stolen his heart, walk down the aisle to marry some prig. It's more than one man should have to bear. But when Alicia vanishes, it's Richard who sets out to find her with a promise to her family he will bring her back and stay sober until he does. Traveling clear across an entire ocean, he finds her… at least she looks the same and answers to Alicia, but what he finds is a once-pampered society woman hell-bent on following some foolish notion of becoming a pirate come hell or high water… or in her case, both.
