The Pirate Princess

BY HONOR ALONEA handsome war hero, Prince Petra can have his pick of any lady in the kingdom. A man of virtue, he's saved himself for just the right one. But when the corrupt emperor of Isa Vis kidnaps a duke's daughter to force her into an alliance, Petra sacrifices himself-and his dreams of love-to save her. Betrothing himself to the distant captive, he leads a daring rescue across the stormy South Sea.But The Light has other plans. On the voyage, Petra runs afoul of Charlee. Once a prisoner, now a pirate captain, the sultry siren holds him captive with more than just her sword. And when she offers a seductive wager-if he takes her body before they reach the City of Light, she wins absolution for her crimes-it is all he can do to hold firm. While he has every reason to bring Charlee to justice, he's also finally found a woman he wants more than honor. And he can no more trust her than he can trust himself. In a fantasy kingdom, adventure, mystery and politics prevail.
