Short description
When Captain Gabriel Drake earns a royal pardon for piracy and comes home to Cornwall, he discovers the father has died. He must wed and breed an heir to secure the barony or it will be devolved to the Crown.
Jacquelyn Wren must see the new baron suitably wed to a lady of quality. A few lessons in courting should do the trick. But she forgot one thing.
What a pirate wants, a pirate takes.
When Captain Gabriel Drake earns a royal pardon and comes home to Cornwall, he discovers the father with whom he hoped to reconcile has died, along with his older brother. Gabriel suddenly finds himself elevated to lord of the manor with the added complication of being responsible for his 5 orphaned nieces.
He's also obliged to wed, bed and breed an heir on a well-born lady as soon as possible to secure the barony or it will be devolved to the Crown. Since Gabriel's pardon for piracy requires him never to enter the city of London again, he can't pursue a bride in typical marriage mart fashion. And the fact that he only wants Jacquelyn Wren, the bastard daughter of a courtesan who couldn't possibly satisfy the King's requirements to become his baroness, means he'll have her any way he can.
To protect the orphans in her charge, Jacquelyn has to see the new baron suitably wed to a lady of quality. A few lessons in courting should do the trick nicely. But she forgot one thing.
