The Rebellious Countess

Society may be run by the men of the ton, but six scandalous sisters are determined to take it by storm one gentleman at a time. Máira Blair married for love, her honeymoon trip with the Earl of Dorset is a dream come true-until reality turns it into a nightmare. Máira wakes up to discover her husband isn't an earl, but the captain of a pirate ship and what was supposed to be her honeymoon, is a voyage bound for war-torn France. If that isn't enough to disparage her husband's character, he abandons her in the middle of a French port where she must find a way to survive as she defends her virtue and her life. Just when she's convinced of what kind of rogue she married, the pirate transforms into a hero on a quest to save her and the missing Earl of Astley. Sir Elias Drake married for convenience, he needed a Scottish bride to complete his mission. He can resist his desire for his beautiful wife, especially after she discovers his true identity. Except Máira Blair was more than he bargained for. He needs her skills, cherishes her compassion, and is tormented by her passion, which only makes him want her and the life their marriage represents more. It will require both of their talents to rescue the Earl of Astley, and it will take more than a war to defeat their hard-won love-if they can escape.
