Shouldn't be missed."—New York Times bestselling author Sherrilyn Kenyon, Affaire De Coeur A flame-haired beauty branded as a witch and the illegitimate son of King Charles II escape to the steamy Caribbean to find the gold treasure he left behind. THEY ESCAPE… She—the earthy, flame-haired beauty branded as a witch. He—the condemned privateer. Bound together in iron chains, they await the hangman under the gallows of Newgate prison. But Lacy Bennett and James Black do not die a criminals’ death and instead make a bold escape to the Caribbean, seeking the fortune in treasure which Black lost. THEIR ENEMIES FOLLOW… Grave perils await them on their dangerous sea voyage and in the thick island jungles. Betrayed by the treacherous greed of a false friend, they forge an unbreakable bond with their searing passion—a deep connection which will eternally bind this handsome bastard lord to his enchanting low-born lady. With their sensuous, passionate—and rapturous love—their quest will leave a legacy for generations to come….
