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.
