An Elusive Guardian
Blayne, Sara
SHE TOOK THE TON BY STORM…

Charity Wade had gone from impoverished miss to heiress, from a spinster-on-the-shelf to the talk of the ton. And she owed her good fortune to the masked rogue who'd saved her life! Charity had been sailing from India to England as a lady's companion when their ship was overtaken by river pirates. Then a dashing stranger appeared. Attired all in black, “Captain Moonlight” rescued Charity by claiming her as his bride. He wed her before his band of cutthroats and thieves…then gallantly set her free.

…BUT A PIRATE WAS CAUSING A TEMPEST IN HER HEART!

Charity couldn't forget him -- even after she unexpectedly inherited both a fortune and a mysterious guardian -- the handsome, eligible Duke of Radford. But Charity had her suspicions, especially when she discovered Radford's true identity. Yet he appeared not to recognize her, worse, now he was trying to marry her off…to someone else! What was Radford's game? And to whom had Charity lost her heart -- an above-reproach nobleman or a notorious buccaneer?

Hero: Captain Midnight
