Nobody's Saint — Paula Reed

"I vow, should I ever meet another English damsel in distress, she will have to look to someone other than Diego Montoya Fernandez de Madrid y Delgado Cortes for help."

Captain Diego Montoya is working toward one goal--owning his own ship. His patron saint, Mary Magdalene, has a different idea--appearing to him in visions as compelling as they are troubling, she promises that true love awaits him. With no idea where or when he will meet the demure bride he's sure the saint has foreseen, Diego is certain of only one thing--the spirited Irish lass who winds up on his ship cannot be the woman he is fated to fall for. Bold, stubborn, and hot-tempered, Mary Kate O'Reilly is the victim of her grandfather's cruel plan to marry her off to a shipbuilder in Port Royal. She's not only a woman engaged to another man--she's a temptress determined to seduce him to escape her unwanted betrothal! Diego can't allow the independent beauty to steal his heart. But on second thought, he's nobody's saint...
