Authors' Book Description : Two hearts are wrenched between love and duty in Sharon Cullen’s tale of a ruthless pirate and the Scottish lass who fills him with a desire greater than plunder.
With her clan’s crops burned and their property confiscated, Mairi McFadden is desperate to free her brother from imprisonment so that he can take his rightful place as chief. Her only hope is the fierce English pirate Phin Lockwood, but the buccaneer laughs at her meager funds. His roving eyes, however, tell Mairi there’s something else he’ll take in exchange for her brother’s rescue. Though she burns with hatred for the English, she’ll do anything to save her clan.
The crown has made it clear that Phin has two choices: Bring in a certain Scottish traitor or hang. And he’s not about to let a tiny, whiskey-eyed woman get in his way, even if she is pointing a gun at him. When Phin learns that Mairi’s brother is the very man he seeks, he’s more than willing to use the lass as bait. But as the moment of capture draws near, Phin is surprised by his feelings for the courageous beauty who has him considering risking his life—for someone besides himself.
My Book Review : 4 out of 5 stars. Loosely based on fact this passionate historical romance is one that was hard not to enjoy! From the ravaged highlands comes Mairi, a woman who's life has been ripped apart by circumstance takes it upon herself to protect her way of life by any means necessary. Once Mairi and Phin meet, their worlds collide and everything they presumed about themselves is thrown into question. Yet together these two will be able to accomplish anything. If only they'll be able to keep trusting each other.
I thoroughly enjoyed this novel! It made me hope that Ms. Cullen writes a novel with Susan & Annabel next!
I recommend this novel to anyone who likes historical romances!

Book Teaser(s) :
It seemed she'd stopped breathing. Hell, he'd stopped breathing.
"I wondered," he said.
"You wondered?" She sounded breathless.
"If you had freckles everywhere."
He lightly touched one just at the swell of her breasts, causing her chest to rise on a gasp.
"Yes."
He quirked a brow. "Yes?"
"Yes. They're every...where."
He bit back a groan.
"I hate them."
"I love them." Oh, how he loved them. ~ within Chapter 7
"You're a fool, Mairi mine."
"I know."
"This can come to no good."
The truth of that hit her hard, but she withstood the blow. "I know."
"I don't want you here because of some damn debt or bloody bargain you think you owe me."
"That's not why I'm here." Truth was, she hadn't even thought of their bargain on her way to his room.
"Good." ~ within Chapter 22
