author: Lord, Sasha
description: Beautiful, brave, and wildly impetuous, Istabelle O'Bannon is the daring captain of her own ship. A "Robin Hood" who protects coastal villages from pirates and marauders, she answers to no authority but her own. But now Istabelle is desperate to reclaim one of her most precious treasures from a vicious outlaw--and she trusts only one man to help her.
  
  That man isn't the warrior Ruark Haagan, even though she's under the mistaken impression that he is. And now it's too late for Ruark to explain his deception and reveal his true identity. All he can do is help the untamed beauty triumph in this brutal clash--even as he resists succumbing to the fiery passion Istabelle has ignited in him....
