A swashbuckling tale set in the second half of the 16th century,
when Elizabeth was on the throne and the Spanish Armada ruled the
waves. Sir Nicholas Beauvallet, pirate and nobleman, captures a
Spanish galleon and discovers a lovely lady on board. Chivalrous to
the core, he woos and wins her heart, then returns her and her
father to their homeland, vowing to come after hereven though
there's a price on his head and discovery of his identity will mean
certain death. In the midst of much adventure, Beauvallet
masquerades as a Frenchman, is betrayed, and must fight his way to
freedom while stealing the lady willingly away
In her signature style, Heyer has mastered the vernacular of the
time, bringing to life an era of daring heroism and harrowing
adventure, all intertwined with a breathtaking love story.
