Plundered Passion (Electronic book text)

When the Marques Cole Lairet walked into the grand Masquerade Celebration in New Orleans he had no idea his life would forever change. Cole used his title to hide that he was also the notorious pirate The Raven. While dancing with a chestnut hair temptress, Raven could see in her golden flaked eyes the fire that smoldered deep within. That intrigued and drew him to her all the more. Monique Remineuel has always lived in the shadows of her selfish, hateful sister Julianne. Because of her rich chestnut hair, she has never been considered attractive. Later under an oak tree in the garden when their lips melted together, Raven's question was answered. Little did he know that simple kiss branded him for life? After running back to sea to break the spell, Raven enters his cabin to discover that Monique had been kidnapped and placed on his ship. Now he is left with the dilemma of returning Monique to her family without being hung for a crime he did not commit. But not before she becomes the first female pirate of The Brethren.
