But no man wants to invest in a business-minded woman. Sometimes the right man comes along in what seems like the wrong package.... Anyone with eyes can see that valet Frank Crymble is the illegitimate first-cousin of his employer, Lord Avery O'Shea, and like the rest of the O'Shea family, Frank has ambitions above his station and a penchant for scandal. When he catches Melanie behaving badly away from the other house party guests, the two of them instantly come up with a scheme that will get them both what they want. Sometimes making the wrong decision turns out to be the right way to fall in love.... But a marriage of convenience might be harder to pull off than Melanie and Frank suspect when every one of their friends is against the match. And when Melanie's father shows up at the house party to drag her home, both her and Frank's dreams hang in the balance. Until they hatch a plan to convince everyone they are deeply in love...including themselves. PLEASE BE ADVISED - Steam level: Very Hot!

Download or read book The Buccaneer s Realm written by Benerson Little and published by Potomac Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2007 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1674, it is three years since Henry Morgan’s pirates sacked Panama. England is now at peace with Spain, and soon France, Holland, and Spain will briefly be at peace among themselves. But soon buccaneers and their French counterparts, the filibusters, will seize the opportunity of material gain presented by the far-flung and failing Spanish Empire. And Spain will produce its own notorious pirates, whose depredations against the English and French will become legend. These men of opportunistic calculation and desperate courage live in a wilder, larger, and richer time and place than any other frontier in modern history—the Spanish Main. Unflinchingly, unhesitatingly, unabashedly, they will take to the peaceful seas for riches by force of arms. The world will witness piracy on a grand scale. While Benerson Little’s previous work showed brilliantly how pirates actually plied their trade, The Buccaneer’s Realm focuses on their cultural and physical environments. It describes not merely their deeds but their world—the New World of the Spanish Main and its many peoples, freedoms, dangers, and exploits that are the foundation of the Americas. A detailed and lively description of pirate life, it will especially appeal to readers with an interest in maritime, naval, military, and colonial history, as well as sociologists, anthropologists, and armchair adventurers.
