To Love a Pirate — Virginia Nielsen

The Kindness of a Stranger

When beautiful Creole Marie Dufret found Jacques Bonnard unconscious by the river, she was immediately drawn to him. But although her girlish fancy found him exciting, he was carrying information that condemned him as a traitor.

Adventure-seeking privateer Jacques Bonnard had never lacked for female company. Even on the eve of his most important mission, he found himself at the mercy of Marie Dufret's tender touch. Yet as she nursed him through his fevered dreams, a private war raged within him ... as he fought the impulse to save the lovely Marie from his own dangerous schemes.
