Sir Nicholas Beauvallet has never been known to resist a challenge.
When he captures a galleon at sea, and the treasure turns out to be the lovely Dona Dominica de Rada y Silva, he vows to return her and her father to the shores of Spain.
But, upon his immediate return, he proposes another venture; one more reckless than any of his exploits on the high seas which have made him the equal of Sir Francis Drake and a favourite of Queen Elizabeth I.
He will take Dominica as his bride, even if it leads him into peril ...

Rezensionen / Stimmen
Wonderful characters, elegant, witty writing, perfect period detail, and rapturously romantic. Georgette Heyer achieves what the rest of us only aspire to -- Katie Fforde My favourite historical novelist - stylish, romantic, sharp, and witty. Her sense of period is superb, her heroines are enterprising, and her heroes dashing. I owe her many happy hours -- Margaret Drabble A writer of great wit and style - I've read her books to ragged shreds -- Kate Fenton * Daily Telegraph * Sparkling * Independent on Sunday * Georgette Heyer is unbeatable -- India Knight
