Description

Part Fact. Part Fiction. All Romance.

Based on the actual events of real-life pirate Captain Henry Avery, The Arch Pirate twists and twirls blending fact with fiction in an adventure-filled 17th century pirate romance.

While Avery and his crew make for Madagascar to start off their new life of piracy, they capture a Dutch ship along the way. It isn't gold Avery finds in one of the chests they brought on board, but it's treasure none-the-less... an exquisite woman unlike any he's ever seen. Enraptured by her beauty and unable to return her to her own long-departed ship, Avery promises to keep her safe until he can secure her return passage home. But after he strips away the years of etiquette drilled into Lady Aleida Van Imhoff, it isn't him doing the stealing this time... it seems she's stolen his heart.

Aleida finds herself captured by Captain Avery's crew while en route to marry the heir to the Dutch India Trading Company. She had thought being forced to marry the arrogant Albertus was the worst thing to happen to her... until she ended up on a ship filled with pirates. But the notorious Arch Pirate turns out to be more mischief than murderer, and soon she's hoping her rescuers never arrive. Ensnared by Avery's roguish charm and the temptations of a life unknown, the two soon find themselves on an adventure in pirate-controlled Madagascar.

Torn between family duty and her love for Captain Avery, Aleida must decide who wins the battle raging inside her. Will she choose her heart or her head?
