Sweet Vengeance: Duke of Rutland Series Book 1

England, 1777.

Lady Abigail Rutland refuses to succumb to a life of married boredom.

Longing for freedom and excitement, the feisty rebel hides behind a fake engagement with a duke's son.

But it's an irresistible stolen kiss with a stranger at a masked ball that changes her heart forever.

American Captain Jacob Thorne hates his aristocratic father.

Yet he puts his pride aside to approach his estranged parent for the first time and ask for help freeing his cousin from a British prison.

Frustrated and angry when his request is refused, his rage evaporates in an instant when he tastes the alluring lips of a moonlit young socialite.

When Abigail is kidnapped by an unknown enemy and disguised as a male against her will, she's astonished to be playing the role of cabin boy on Jacob's ship.

And as the dashing privateer discovers the tantalizing woman hiding under a false persona, foes closing in from all sides place their love in mortal danger.
