The Diamond King
Will Malfour wasn't always an outlaw. At one time, he was Lord Alex Leslie, a member of the Scottish nobility. Then comes the massacre of Culloden, when he suddenly finds himself protecting ten orphans. Two years later, he takes on the lucrative position of privateer while headed for the diamond mines of South America. Jenna Campbell has many strikes against her. At age 25 she's a spinster and a bluestocking with a birthmark on her hand--a sure sign of the devil--and, worst of all, her father is a British collaborator. When he sends her off to marry a stranger in Barbados, Alex/Will intercepts the ship and makes her a target for all of his hatred for the British. From war-torn Scotland to the high seas to the jungles of Brazil, Potter takes the reader on a roller-coaster ride as a rake becomes a hero and a courageous, resourceful woman finds love against all odds in this exciting historical.Shelley MosleyCopyright © American Library Association.
