Synopsis

Can a pirate learn that the only true treasure lies in a woman's heart?

Widowed Silence Hollingbrook is impoverished, lovely, and kind--and nine months ago she made a horrible mistake. She went to a river pirate for help in saving her husband and in the process made a bargain that cost her her marriage. That night wounded her so terribly that she hides in the foundling home she helps run with her brother. Except now that same river pirate is back...and he's asking for her help.

"Charming" Mickey O'Connor is the most ruthless river pirate in London. Devastatingly handsome and fearsomely intelligent, he clawed his way up through London's criminal underworld. Mickey has no use for tender emotions like compassion and love, and he sees people as pawns to be manipulated. And yet he's never been able to forget the naive captain's wife who came to him for help and spent one memorable night in his bed...talking.

When his bastard baby girl was dumped in his lap--her mother having died--Mickey couldn't resist the Machiavellian urge to leave the baby on Silence's doorstep. The baby would be hidden from his enemies and he'd also bind Silence to him by her love for his daughter.

Charming Micky wasnt as appealing as most Maiden Lane heroes. Maybe to be expected from a prate? Then again, the heroine was a bit under par as well. Having bumped into this couple in some other later entries to the series, at least now Ive read their back story.

I WAIT for Elizabeth Hoyts books and they have never failed to meet expectations. They are so well written without constant repetition of thought just to fill pages and paint such beautiful mind pictures that you have no problem stepping into the world she has created. The characters are carefully crafted so that you are interested in what happens to them as they find their ways toward the end of the story. I especially like the fairy tale thats told on the first page of each chapter. The only problem I have with Ms. Hoyts books is that I have to wait for the next one. Bravo and thank you for hours of entertainment.
