The Brigand's Bride — Betty Hale Hyatt

Beautiful Brandi Howard woke from a drugged sleep into a nightmare. No longer was she her father's pampered darling in their Regency London townhouse. Her father was dead, she was a prisoner in an ancient manor near the sea, and her fate was in the hands of a greedy guardian.

Brandi felt willing to sell herself to the devil himself to escape this terrible trap, and her only hope rested on a man who seemed a devil in human guise. He was Philip St. Johns, a handsome brigand who stole women's hearts as arrogantly as he plundered merchants ships. It was aboard his ship The Falcon that he drove his hard bargain with the fearful heiress -- to come to her aid of she would be his spy. And as Brandi desperately said yes, she knew that her happiness depended forever on this pirate with the laughing eyes.

Hero: Philip St. Johns
Heroine: Brandi Howard
