To escape her cruel stepfather, seamstress Alexandra Cogsworth envisioned sailing far from England...though not as a captive aboard a pirate's ship. Pirate captain Nathaniel Kent's strategy for exacting revenge on his coldhearted father involved taking a valuable hostage...not a seamstress he mistakenly thinks is his half sister. Yet fate has designs of its own, landing them both on board the Royal Vengeance. At sea, Nathaniel intercepts and plunders his father's ships, all the while tormented by his illicit hunger for the tempting prisoner he thinks is his blood relation. And although Alexandra wants no part in this terrifying voyage, to reveal her true identity to the handsome, blue-eyed Nathaniel would invite danger.

"Just finish reading this wonderful story. It really show that disabled people can do anything to survive in this world. Nathaniel is an amazing character because he shows true strength in his ability to survive to prove his father, The Duke of Greyhouse, that even as cripple with only one good arm, he is a man not to be mess with at all and make his father' miserable. He defended those he loves and fight against his father and his half brother, Clifton. Alexandra is a seamstress who was running away from his stepfather's mistreatment and was kidnapped by this mysterious pirate captain (Nathaniel) who confuse her with his half sister. But through their journey she was falling in love with him that she even protect Nathaniel from any harm. Also, she help to find Nathaniel when he was captured even if risking her life being inside the Duke Greyhouse's home to save him. It was simply the best. The ending was sad and happy in which make us reflective that never judge a person whether they are cripple, they still show they are just the same as any normal people."

“Strong, powerful, unique!”
— RT Book Reviews" Full of bonkers from start to finish, though enjoyable for it. "
— Jane, 2/10/2014" I really enjoyed this book. There were emotions, turmoil, suspense, action, and humor too. I liked the characters and their personalities, except for the bad guys, of course. :) I liked the honor and loyalty of the crew. The helpmates and traitors of the new people met. I would read this book again, but more for a rainy day cuddle-up book. There were some really good parts and I liked the sparring between the two leads. This is a great shorter read with plenty filled into all the scenes and characters. There were some very good twists and turns and a very good HEA for the lovebirds. Enjoy! "
— Caro, 2/4/2014" This wasn't awful - just somewhat boring. I chose it as an antidote to the rather heavy book I read before and it might have been a good diversion if it was half as long. If I wasn't anal retentive I would have given up before finishing, after all I knew how it was going to end... "
— Maylin, 2/3/2014" I read this after reading another book by the author I got for free on amazon. This one was even better. I really liked both of the main characters. "
— Allison, 2/1/2014" I liked the idea of a one armed hero. It lent a bit of credence to the whole story. The rest was your standard historical romance, but a good one. "
— Ifeyinwa, 1/20/2014" This is a great book. Could have had a little more excitement between the male and female lead characters. The ending was very exciting. Over all a very good read. "
— Mary, 1/16/2014" Disastrous! He kidnaps the wrong girl. :) Again, got it free on my Kindle and decided to give it a try. "

— Karen, 5/23/2013" A great historical romance. The interaction of the main characters was good with the mistaken identity element and I liked that they saved each other and that the heroine was not a helpless twit, she had guts! "
— Rachael, 3/10/2013" It was loooooong. "
— Shonnie, 3/9/2013" First time reading a historical by Brenda Novak. It's pretty good - the writing is easy to read, the action flows and the characters are interesting. The storyline is rather implausible and it is overly long but it's nice to read a story that is different than the usual fare. "
— Leslie, 2/27/2013" Almost done ! Good book if a lot stressful sitting on the edge of my chair. Lots of thing going on, at some point I think the author is trying to put every thing bad that can happen to a man and/or woman (both in this case)is happening in this one book. "
— Kbee, 2/20/2013" two stars for pirates. That's it. "
— Gary, 2/7/2013" A good read, look forward to reading more books by this author. "
