The Pirate Ruse by Marcia Lynn McClure

Yes, it has been a while since I have read one of Marcia Lynn McClure's romance novels and had forgotten how simple, but enjoyable some of her books can be. This is one that I have entertained the thought of eventually buying. One of the few of her many short books that she has.

Cristabel Albay has found herself abducted and prisoner on a ship which is being overthrown by pirates; and of course, another pirate ship has arrived and the captain of this ship insists that if she wants to live she's to jump overboard with him and swim to his ship. Trevon Navarrone is one pirate that is known for being a little more kind than other pirates and Cristabel will take her chances with him. Not so much a humorous book, but a tale of piracy, traitors, and kidnapping, The Pirate Ruse is set differently than most of McClure's old western books. Trevon and Cristabel of course find themselves in love, but must overcome ghosts from their past.
