Description

He was impossible! Yet utterly irresistible...

Renowned as a bold corsair and seducer of women, Justin St. Briac has spent the last decade as a married man. He adores his wife, Mouette, but as he ages, he chafes against the constraints of domestication and longs for another reckless adventure on the high seas.

Mouette Raveneau's life among the London ton was in tatters when she fled to Cornwall and married Justin. Now, years later, she has an opportunity to return to Society and repair her broken reputation. For the sake of her adult son, Charles, she agrees...but what of her untamable pirate husband?

If the volatile Justin does accompany Mouette to London, she fears he will prove incapable of conforming to the haut ton's rigid code of conduct. And when Mouette receives assistance from a caring, respectable nobleman, Justin burns to challenge his rival to a duel to the death.

As marriage becomes the most reckless adventure of all, will these two lovers dare to join forces...or turn their backs and walk away for good?

When a mid-life crisis grips Justin St. Briac in Regency London, his spirited wife, Mouette, strikes back with gusto in this delightful, passionate, and even playful story of true love. -- Carole Tunstall, Amazon reader
