Blurb: Sherrie Hamilton is a woman with a scandalous secret past. When she travels to London for a Season of helping to launch her cousins on the marriage mart, she runs into her past. Literally. In the one place she never expected to find a pirate, she encounters the sensuous rogue who kept her as his lover years before.

Jack PenMartyn, Earl of PenMartyn, seeks to put his wicked past raiding the China Sea behind him. One thing he can't forget is the young woman whose pure innocence he stole; the woman who is the mother of the child he never knew he had.

He knows that with one false word, Sherrie will expose the secrets of his past. But does he dare to hope that she will give in to the temptation of their reckless passion for a future together?

Review: While I was thrown off at first , I must say that the tale quickly pulled me back in. This tale of once lovers, then separated, then finding each other again had some ups and downs. There were a few parts that dragged for me but once the story got going...it really got going and the ride was well worth the slow start :)

A mass of characters all trying to find their place. A hero and heroine who just touch something deep inside. A story that left me feeling as if I had run a marathon. No doubt this one was action packed and filled to the brim with overflowing tension at times, but it worked very well and I am glad to have read it.

A good historical that is a little different than what I would have expected....but in a good way :)
