Érase una vez un canalla

A descendant of a successful naval dynasty, Gabriel Hawkins was born to sail the seas... until he was expelled from the Royal Navy and rejected by his family. As the captain of his own ship, Gabriel makes a living from both legal and illegal activities, and his experience makes him the best choice when it comes to rescuing a beautiful aristocrat who has been captured by pirates. Having avoided the traps of convention and marriage, Lady Aurora Lawrence is horrified by the prospect of spending her life as a slave to a harem. Her only hope of escaping lies with a calm, steely-tempered captain who would do anything to free her from her. Together they embark on a dangerous mission in rough waters, but meet another kind of danger when attraction takes hold of them in the narrow confines of the ship. But even if they manage to resist the dangers of the sea and the enemy lands, can their love survive the return to England, where the distance between a disgraced captain and the daughter of an earl can be greater than the ocean itself?
