About the book
THE RANSOMED HEART In a swirling sea mist the Duke of Westacre came upon an extraordinary young woman. She was beautiful, spoke with the voice of a lady, and treated him with disdain. She was, in fact, the most bewitching creature he had ever seen. Why, then, did he find her leading a band of smugglers? It seemed that even the most eligible duke in England could not claim this treasure until he had thwarted a deadly plot against his Prince and ransomed his lady's heart from its desperate secret.
