The story begins with our heroine, Becca, putting up a display in a museum. She has never really been comfortable with her life and is completely obsessed with the pirate she's about to put on display. That pirate is James Morrow, who did a lot of his pirating in the early 1700's. Becca was so obsessed with the age and the pirate she even learned how to fence. So, as she's putting the display up, she decides to test a sword that came with all the other items, thus taking her back in time to Captain Morrow's ship. I didn't realize when I purchased Treasured that it was sort of a Time Travel novella. I may not have purchased it had I known, but I am quite happy I did buy and read it!Apparently Becca could basically have been twins with James's wife Rebecca. No one on board liked the original wife and quite frankly she despised them all. Becca, however, fits in better than she ever did in what she had known as her time. It is very amusing how James doesn't understand the sudden changes in his wife. She never liked having sex with him, and didn't like him at all. Now, all of a sudden, Becca can't get enough smexy time with him, and vice versa. This is such a quick, fun and hot read!This was my favorite pirate story before I read any of Maureen O. Betita's The Kraken's Caribbean stories starting withThe Kraken's Mirror (The Kraken's Caribbean),The Chameleon Goggles (The Kraken's Caribbean)andThe Pirate Circus (The Kraken's Caribbean).In general I don't like time travel stories, but Ms. Jordan handled it well. This is the book which steered me to purchase more of her work!
