Lady At Last
This is a story about a pirate’s daughter Amanda. She comes from the island of Jamaica. Raised on the island she has always been able to run free and she is often around rough people. She can do anything that a man can do when it comes to sailing.
Cliff De Warenne is a very wealthy man known all over the island. He isthe youngest son of the Earl of Adare and a captain of many ships. He lives on the island most of the time. He had often seen Amanda out around the island.
At the hanging of her father, Amanda was attacked by the onlookers with rocks and Cliff had to rescue her. Before her father was hung he asked Amanda to go to England and find her mother. Amanda had no means to do this so Cliff volunteered to take her to England on his ship.
She was not a polished lady and Cliff decided that he would help her become one and announced himself her guardian. Along the way he found the lovely flower hidden among the weeds and fell in love with her. Amanda had fallen in love with him as soon as he rescued her.
Cliff insists that he will marry her off but can he stand to let her go to another man’s bed………
This book is a part of the De Warenne dynasty series. Brenda Joyce sure knows how to tell a story. I enjoyed it.
Other stories in the series: The Stolen Bride, The Masquerade, The Prize, and coming in August 2007 The Perfect Bride.
