The Black Hawk

the long version

Unexpected Peril... The daring privateer known only as the Black Hawk had chosen to renounce the sea. It was time for Robert Chandler to become a respectable merchant. But he never dreamed that Lady Bianca Stanford's bewitching golden eyes could draw him into a life of intrigue and danger such as even the Black Hawk had never known. To Bianca, marriage to Robert meant a chance to rescue her father from debtor's prison. Never in her wildest imaginings had she thought that their union would embroil them in a dark plot that would threaten the life of Queen Elizabeth herself ... or that Robert's tender embrace would threaten Bianca's own guarded heart.
