One moment Lady Olivia Granville is strolling along a path, her nose buried in a tome of Greek philosophy; the next she is plunging down a rocky cliff.  Only when she regains consciousness -- naked and unwittingly trapped on an unknown ship -- does she discover that she owes her life to a stranger who is clearly not a gentleman!

Wickedly handsome, disturbingly mysterious, the gray-eyed master of the Wind Dancer admits to make his living from the sea.  But it doesn't take long for Olivia to realize that the rogue who'd so intimately tended her wounds is a brash pirate whose schooner is bearing down upon a Spanish galleon.  She knows she should be appalled.  Instead Olivia is shockingly entranced . . . and recklessly attracted to an outlaw whose gaze holds both challenge and invitation.

Anthony Caxton has known from the first that Olivia Granville is no ordinary woman.  But who would have thought that the sheltered daughter of a marquis would have a genuine taste for piracy?  Delighted by her response, teased by her beauty, he welcomes her as the newest of his crew, confident that it is only a matter of time before he wins her surrender.

Yet even as Olivia welcomes his embrace, she remains unaware that Anthony is harboring a devastating secret . . . one that will lead them to heartache, scandal, and betrayal.  For Anthony is much more than a common pirate.  He is the mastermind behind a perilous plot of royal intrigue that could change the course of history.  And in this enterprise his opponent in none other than Cato Granville . . . Olivia's father.

Anthony knows the success of his scheme -- and his very life -- depends upon minute planning, on anticipating every possible difficulty.  But he never imagined that he would fall in love with the daughter of his most formidable enemy.  And he never dreamed that the dangerous game he was playing would leave Olivia vulnerable to the attentions of a cunning villain -- one who wants to possess the dark-haired temptress almost as much as he wants to see Anthony Caxton hang . . . .
