$9.95

Pavanne Pettigrew breaks onto the literary scene running with this one. During the Golden Age of Piracy, Captain “Blackjack” Bellamie, a buccaneer of Romany descent, is wounded while fleeing the King’s men. He struggles into the hinterlands of Jamaica to the mansion of Lady Chloe Smyth Caruthers, widow of the island’s lieutenant governor. Before he has recovered, though, Chloe and her small staff learn that an intensified manhunt for him will soon be at their door.

The pirate cannot remain at the estate, yet he is not strong enough to travel alone, so Chloe, who has fallen in love with him, elects to flee with him on foot through the wilderness. They are profoundly changed by their brief relationship and the agonizing dilemma that follows, but rather than solving problems, their separation complicates and even endangers both lives.
