A not-so-proper lady on a quest for freedom sneaks aboard the ship of an infamous privateer determined to save his brother and resist love.

When bold, beautiful Lady Christina Delafield discovered her overbearing grandfather planned to tame her at a Swiss finishing school, Christina stowed away on the first ship leaving London harbor, determined to make her own way in life. But, the mysterious captain of the Dragon's Lair was a seductive reason to relinquish her independence and embrace desire.

As a Gentleman Pirate, Drexell Cain had lived for four years as the merciless Black Dragon. Bent on rescuing his brother from the British Navy, Drex would do anything to return him to his wife and son even kidnap the Lord Admiral's granddaughter for ransom.

A lovely blonde stowaway was an unexpected complication, until he discovered her real identity and her passionate claim on his heart.

Who will win in this clash of wills?
