Pirate and I, The: A Novella [Mass Market Paperback] Ashe, Katharine

A masked pirate. A stranded lady. A ship in the dead of night. Katharine Ashe serves up a tight, swashbuckling romance that's equal parts tension and longing. When Esme Astell finds herself aboard a vessel commanded by a mysterious captain who seems to know far too much about her past, she's caught between danger and an attraction she can't explain. The confined setting amplifies every glance, every word left unsaid. Ashe writes historical romance with intelligence and heat — her characters have wit, her plots have stakes, and her love scenes don't fade to black. This novella wastes no time on filler: it's lean, taut, and built for readers who want their romance with a side of adventure. Perfect for an evening when you want pirates, secrets, and chemistry you could strike a match on.
