The Windflower
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
Description
The classic tale of passion on the high seas, available in print for the first time in 20 years . . .
Merry Wilding is a lady of breeding, of innocence, and of breathtaking beauty. With high hopes for a holiday in England, she sets sail from New York-but the tide of her life is destined to turn. Mistakenly swept aboard an infamous pirate ship, Merry finds herself at the mercy of a wicked crew . . . and one sinfully handsome pirate. Soon she's spending her days yearning for escape, and her nights learning the pleasures of captivity.
Devon Crandall believes Merry is in league with his greatest enemy. He's determined to slowly urge her secrets from her. But along the way, he discovers her beautifully unbreakable spirit . . . and a desire unlike any he's ever known. She is hiding something from him, and yet, each day that passes brings her deeper into his heart. When fierce arguments give way to fiercer passion, can a pirate learn to love a woman? Or will true love be lost at sea?

A young American on her way to England ends up aboard a pirate ship and in the arms of a dashing buccaneer in this classic romance that is one of the genre's most memorable and is often on "Best Romance" lists. First published by Dell in 1984 and unavailable for a number of years, with exquisite writing, beautifully rendered characters, and perfectly nuanced sexual tension, it's a keeper for fans and libraries alike. Laura London is the pseudonym of RITA Award-winning writing duo Thomas and Sharon Curtis, who published a number of well-received romances during the Seventies and Eighties.Copyright 2014 Library Journal, LLC Used with permission.
