Midnight Rogue — Elaine Barbieri

WILLING TO LOVE

Her sheltered existence at a New Orleans convent school has protected Gabrielle Dubay from the world's harsh injustices... until the night a shadowy stranger steals into her bedroom and spirits her away to his ship. Gabrielle hides her fear of her arrogant, golden-eyed captor behind scornful words, but his tantalizing touch soon ensnares her in a web of breathless desire that demands nothing less than her complete surrender... and his.

Kidnapping Gabrielle Dubay is Captain Rogan Whitney's long-awaited revenge against the red-headed beauty's father -- a man who killed his best friend, branded Rogan an outlaw, and drove him to a life of piracy. But then he tastes Gabrielle's sweet desire... and succumbs to a passion that could destroy them both. For Rogan faces a date with the hangman. And Gabrielle must choose between the world she left behind and a perilous future with the man who has dared her to love....
