Description
You won't catch him spending the night. The Dread Pirate Stone takes no survivors. He's ruthless. Fearless.He's unstoppable, especially now that he's so close to finding the Cat's Eye - an emerald so big it will buy him a thousand ships. Or, in his case, pay off his debt to the man who's been holding his sister hostage. Stone will do anything to get that damn rock. He'll fight. He'll pillage. He'll even kill if he has to. Nothing can stand in his way, but then he meets someone who changes everything. Eleanor knows she's nobody to write home about. She's plain. Homely. A little boring. There's nothing very special about her. She was training to be a teacher before she witnessed the murder of the town mayor. Now she's on the run and the only person who can keep her safe is one the entire world has labeled a villain. Oh yes, she's heard all about the Dread Pirate Stone, but the stories have missed a couple of important details. The legends don't talk about how stunning his deep green eyes are. They don't talk about his long, wavy locks. The stories all missed the part about his steely abs or the fact that just one look from him is enough to make her knees quiver. Nobody warned her about that. Nobody would warn her that she might start to care about the man who could throw her out to sea - but doesn't. Soon their worlds are colliding in ways Eleanor never thought possible... And she doesn't know if she's going to make it out alive.
