The Bastard's Passionate Prize — Cerise Deland
When American merchantman Mark Stanhope, the bastard of the Stanhope clan, falls for stunning noblewoman Sirena Maxwell, she is already promised to another man. Mark's only hope to ease his wounded heart is the familiar comfort of the open ocean. That comfort is short-lived, for he finds her stowed away aboard his ship, and the high seas are no place for lady.
Engaged to the vile Colin de Ros, Sirena fears for her life and runs to the only man who can keep her safe-- Mark Stanhope. She will sacrifice everything to make him her husband: her title, her family...her good name. When they are blown off course and taken hostage, she must surrender her body, her virtue and her desire to set them both free from the seraglio of a ruthless Barbary pirate.
If Mark cannot find a way to save Sirena's gorgeous body only for himself, then he must put her on display for these salacious brutes. Can their love survive the depravities of the Barbary pirate's court? Or will their passions enslave them both forever?
