About Beauvallet (Beauvallet Dynasty #2)

The year is 1586 and Sir Nicholas Beauvallet (great-great-great-grandson of Simon Beauvallet, the Coldheart) is one of the most infamous corsairs of the Elizabethan era. With the blessing of the Queen, Beauvallet sails the seas with the intention of plundering any Spanish ships that come his way. During her return to Spain with her father, the lovely heiress Doña Dominica de Rada y Sylva is horrified when their galleon is set upon by pirates. But Dominica's pride braces her determination to be no one's hostage. Seizing the chance, she tries to kill the hateful pirate, but then finds herself strangely captured by his boyish smile. It should have been easy for Sir Nicholas. It was, after all, just another Spanish ship. But instead, Sir Nicholas finds himself captivated by Dominica's dark beauty and indomitable courage. She could not believe it when he set her, unharmed, on the shores of Spain with her father. Nor could she still her beating heart when he vowed to return to claim Dominica as his bride. He proposes return to Spain, where there's a price on his head, with a total disregard for danger.
