Duke's Daughter

The duke's daughter, Lady Arianna Kent, is betrothed to a man she has never met. In willful defiance of her father, she boards a ship bound for America, determined to live her life on her own terms. She never dreamed her own terms would include marauding pirates, her own kidnapping, and a handsome sea captain who would attempt her rescue. Derek Drake, captain of the Green-Eyed Lady, sails the seas, determined to find the man who murdered his fiancee. Making his living carrying cargo to foreign ports, he fights an inner battle daily. To stay true to his goal, he must deny his father's wishes to return home and marry the woman his father has arranged for him to wed. Fate plays her own hand and throws the two together to live out an adventure neither will soon forget. Evil lurks around every corner while the duke's daughter and the captain of the Green-Eyed Lady come to find they have the same purpose: the freedom to choose for themselves whom they will spend the rest of their lives with.
