Description:

Circumstances have changed; they’re worse. Valoree has been named heir to Ainsley Castle. And the will distinctly states that in order to inherit, she must be married to a nobleman…and pregnant. Upon learning that, the virgin captain is ready to return to the seas, but her crew puts the issue to a vote—and for those rascally cusses she will do anything. Reluctantly, she agrees. If they can find a way—Henry and One-Eye and Skully—to put on her a sweet face that will fool the ton, she will handle the rest. Even with a drunken prostitute as an “aunt” and her merry cutthroat crew as “servants.” But to herself she swears one thing: She can only marry a man who fires her blood, a man who is not afraid of a lady pirate. After years of masquerading as her murdered brother and scourging the oceans as the ruthless pirate Captain Red, Valoree is named heir to Ainsley Castle, and must masquerade as a proper lady -- who is married to a nobleman and pregnant -- in order to inherit it. She then finds her heart's desire unmasked among the "ton".
