The Privateer of San Madrid

Captain Julius Bertrand isn't a pirate...anymore.
Distracted by an avaricious girl he could never love and the beautiful Kate O'Connell who doesn't need him, Captain Bertrand tries to untangle a web of mysterious cargo someone in the New World wants kept secret.

Kate O'Connell arrives in San Madrid determined to put the past behind her. Assisting her physician father shouldn't be too scandalous if she can mind her tongue and temper. The only person who seems to understand her is the one man she can't have.
When Bertrand's secret pirating past returns with the force of an explosive broadside, he finds he must sacrifice everything his respectable life has brought him in order to save what matters most.
Can a privateer with a bounty on his head save the woman who captured his heart?

This book is a historical swashbuckling adventure with sweet romance and some elements of violence.
