The Duke and the Pirate Queen by Victoria Janssen

"Aboard her privateering ship Seaflower, Captain Imena Leung is the law.  Ashore she answers only to her employer, Duke Maxime.  They are a powerful couple, with an intense attraction neither can disguise or deny.  As a nobleman, Maxime is destined to wed strategically, so his seductive advances must be purely for pleasure.  And what self-respecting pirate denies herself any pleasure?

Their delicious dalliance is prolonged when Imena is forced to abduct Maxime to foil a political plot against him.  At sea, with a stunningly virile man bound in her private quarters, Imena can imagine--and enact--any number of intoxicating scenarios.


The heat between captain and captive is matched  only by the perils that beset Seaflower and her crew.  Violent storms, marauding corsairs and life-or-death sex games on a desert island--how fortunate for the seemingly insatiable lovers that danger and desire go hand-in-hand."
