Laura's Croft

When a man makes a promise, he should keep it. And Will Croft, well, he promised Lady Laura forever with his eyes, and his hands, and his words tumbling intoxicatingly from his lips in a gruff Scottish burr that keeps her toasty warm all through the dark hours. No, that man doesn't get to simply vanish in the black of night without so much as a by-your-leave. Oh, she'll track him down-clear across the dratted ocean as the notorious pirate Black Jane if she must-to give him a sound piece of her mind. And maybe, oh, just maybe, make him regret breaking her heart.

Not a day slips past that Croft doesn't regret leaving Laura so much his soul aches. But a countess and a lowly Scottish privateer patrolling the East Indies stand no chance against the strictures of Society. It's a favor, really, his leaving. So why does it hurt so much? And how can he possibly resist her when she tracks him down as the take charge, furious and extraordinary Black Jane?
