Synopsis
Fierce pirate Nicholas Sabine and young aristocrat Aurora Demming meet in very unlikely circumstances: he is being escorted to the brig by several naval officers, and Aurora intercedes when she sees him being savagely beaten by his captors. It turns out that Aurora and Nicholas have something to offer one another. If Aurora marries the condemned man, she will inherit his fortune when he is executed. By becoming a woman of independent means, she will be able to avoid marriage to the detestable older man her father has selected for her. Nicholas, for his part, will secure a place in society for his beloved sister, Raven, by marrying into the Demming family. So Aurora and Nicholas marry--on the day before Nicholas's execution. They spend one unforgettable night together, and then Aurora is widowed--left to spend the rest of her life dreaming of the strong, handsome, dashing Nicholas, who has affected her so unexpectedly in such a brief period of time. But then, suddenly, Nicholas returns. Having faked his death, the brigand is back to claim his bride. But how can the genteel Aurora live her life as a pirate's wife?
