While I am undoubtedly a fan of this author, this may be my favorite of her stories so far. The leading man, Griffin, is not interested in the trappings of high society and when he ends up at sea at the hands of a press gang, he becomes a pirate, rather than a viscount. (I guess technically he's still only a baron until his father dies) The wife he left behind on their wedding night, Phoebe, lives a quiet life the whole time he is gone, all fourteen years. She is not interested in society either. The only thing slightly irregular is her three children. When the pardoned privateer comes home, Lady Barry has to decide what it is she wants to do about her absentee husband. Lord Griffin Barry has to convince his wife to stay married to him, or to let the whole thing go. When they decide to give each other a chance, they discover that they are the perfect match. Together, they create a wonderful family, starting with Phoebe's three adopted cousins, one of whom longs to be a pirate.Heat factor moderate.
