She must not fall in love with the privateer who rescued her from pirates... Felicity Barrow needs a respected husband with a title or money. Her family sent her abroad to escape scandal and make a proper match, but she finds the honorable Captain Doyle most easy to speak and dance with despite their shocking introduction. Captain Thomas Doyle vowed never to wed. He makes a generous living as a privateer and intends to buy back his former home on Sugar Hill. In order to forget his parents' dark legacy, he'll burn the old plantation to the ground, but he's mistaken a commander's sister for a pirate's paramour, and they own it. Luckily, Miss Barrow doesn't insist Thomas marry her, but there's another problem: Sugar Hill is now her dowry and no longer for sale. Can a man with a past and a woman desperate for a proper future find their happily ever after, or will family tragedy and society's expectations prevent them from admitting-and offering-what's hidden in their hearts? This sweet historical romance is set in the West Indies with pirates, romance and adventure.

Phoebe Applewaite refuses to ransom herself to escape spinsterhood or to fund the millinery shop of her dreams. When foppish Mr. Hathaway tries to cajole her into a dance on Twelfth Night, she's determined to ignore the ridiculous man even if he is one of Charleston's most eligible bachelors. James Hathaway would rather be a sea captain than an heir. His parents don't approve, so he spends most days at the card tables. When his father threatens to cut him off, James agrees to pursue someone "suitable" in exchange for a position aboard a company ship. The single and serious Miss Applewaite seems harmless enough. Phoebe and James soon discover they can work together to export Phoebe's goods, but it will take a house party on the Hathaways' plantation before either is certain if their hearts hunger for more than success and adventure. Can a wealthy heir find love or will old habits ruin a rake's chances and send an ambitious seamstress running for the low country instead of becoming a captain's bride?
