Samantha Howard was her father's sixth daughter. When she was more at home in the stables than in the role of a proper young English lady, her father saw no alternative but to send her to the New World to become the wife of her mother's best friend's son. She was heartbroken to leave behind the stable boys that she rode more than any of the horses but the adventure that lay ahead of her as her father placed her on a Spanish ship full of likely lovers mended her heart in short order. She had plans for how she would spend her time in the crossing of the Atlantic. Her plans changed when they were boarded by pirates. Sami found herself a sex slave to the sensual Capt'n B.

Brittmore MacDonald loved his life at sea. He had too many differing opinions for his father and had gone to sea at a young age to learn from his grandfather. Grandfather had taught him well how to captain a ship. He had also taught him how to attack and board other ships as a pirate. Britt truly loved his work. His latest attack on a Spanish ship filled his hold with much valuable cargo as well as three lovely ladies. Of the three, as was his custom, he chose the finest to grace his bed until they would reach the Caribbean Islands where the women would be sold as sex slaves. The voyage would be spent training the chosen beauty in the many ways of pleasure so that she would bring a high price on the auction block.

Capt'n B was very much surprised to find the fine English lady aboard the Spanish vessel. He was even more surprised to find that she was Samantha Howard, the young lady his mother had sent for to be his bride. Britt could not treat her any different than any other woman he took captive or his crew would find out who she was. He had to discover a way to get her to his parents' plantation in the Carolinas and keep her from letting them know what he actually did to make his living at sea. Britt discovered that falling in love with Sami would be the easiest part of this adventure.

Spicy action is promised from the opening paragraphs of this adventure and the promise is continually fulfilled throughout the pages of THE PIRATE'S LADY. The good captain is exciting and in charge from the first moments he boards the fated Spanish ship, taking charge of Sami's body as well as her heart. Sami's previous sexual conquests are quickly forgotten once she is in the arms of this devilishly powerful yet sensual Capt'n B. Shari Dare takes her readers on a journey as exciting as the ever-rolling high seas.
