This regency romance featuring an English lady and a French privateer proves that fairy tales sometimes do come true.

England 1796: Frenchman ANTOINE DURET, privateer by trade, finds his way to a lonely beach in Norfolk one night. Why he feels compelled to reach it, he cannot say. All his life, he’s dreamed of nothing else but sailing the seas, his own ship, the Chevalier Noire, his pride and joy. Still, his father’s voice echoes in his ears, whispering of a bond that would guide him once he drew closer to the one woman who would hold his heart.

Foolish superstition, no doubt! Still, Antoine cannot resist and orders his crew to approach the beach.

ALEXANDRA WINTERS, COUNTESS OF SILCOX, spent her youth dreaming of love and the one man who would steal her heart, Prince Charming on a white steed come to sweep her off her feet. But then real life interfered and urged her into a sensible match in order to see her beloved brother happily married. Resigned to a life without love, Alexandra takes joy in her little daughter. However, a part of her still does hope. No matter how foolish that notion might be!

And then one fateful night, something leads her down to the beach below Silcox Manor and into the arms of a man who does not at all resemble the Prince Charming Alexandra had imagined in her youth. Nevertheless, his dark gaze sets her world on fire, and Alexandra finds her heart stolen from her chest with a swiftness that yanks the air from her lungs.

The shock of their encounter slams into Antoine with a force that nearly brings him to his knees, and in an instant, he knows that after finding Alexandra against all odds - and in enemy territory no less - he cannot let her go.

At war or not, she must be his.
