Plot Summary of The Pirate Lord
"When Sara Willis, step-sister to a powerful earl is kidnapped on the high seas along with a shipload of convict women by the Pirate Lord, Gideon Horn, she is determined to return to England with her virtue intact. Yet as they land on the Pirates island of plenty, Sara finds herself drawn closer and closer to the mysterious and silently suffering Gideon who haunts her dreams.
