CAN A PIRATE LEARN . . .
River pirate "Charming" Mickey O'Connor has lifted himself from the depths of the slums to be the king of St. Giles. Anything he wants he gets-with one exception. Silence Hollingbrook has been haunting his dreams ever since she spent a single night in his bed.
THAT THE ONLY TRUE TREASURE . . .
Once Silence was willing to sacrifice anything to save the man she loved. Now a widow, she's finally found peace when Charming Mickey comes storming back into her life with an offer she can't refuse. But this time she won't be the only one paying the price for his sins.
LIES IN A WOMAN'S HEART?
When his past comes back to torment him, Mickey must keep Silence safe from a merciless enemy, while wrestling with the delicious hold this widow has on his heart. And in the face of mounting danger, both will have to surrender to something even more terrifying . . . true love.
A better story than number two, but still not as good as number one. I loved Temperance and Lazarus. I didn’t really love Hero and Griffin. Silence and Michael are a much better character, but I must say that there were parts of their characters that I still did not love. Michael was a bit too arrogant even after he fell for Silence. I just was annoyed by his alpha male attitude. But I did enjoy their romance and the underlying conflict with the Vicar. All told, it was a good romance and I can’t wait until the the next volume in the series.
