Bound By The Heart by Marsha Canham

Available on Amazon

In this swashbuckling adventure Captain Morgan Wade, a notorious privateer and blockade-runner, rescues, then kidnaps the daughter of the British governor of Barbados after she and her brother are shipwrecked.

Summer Cambridge is betrothed to Wade's arch-enemy, Commodore Bennett Winfield, who will go to any lengths, even start a war between two countries to get her back.

The intrigue is well spun and the characters well done. Action from page one, a strong slightly arrogant hero, a tough strong willed women and great secondary characters that bring in humor. Great read.
