"Sensual romance filled with suspense."

It has been two years since Turkish Prince Dariq's escape from Istanbul, saving him from certain death. All his other brothers were murdered by his one remaining brother, who's obsessed with power. Dariq lives to avenge their deaths and save his adoring mother, who's still being held captive.

Dariq hears of a ship carrying a rare treasure his brother is very anxious to acquire. When he plunders this ship, Dariq finds the treasure is a golden-haired goddess with emerald green eyes and a lush body; she is a woman not easily controlled.

Willow Foxburn is an English beauty returning home from visiting her mother in France when she's abducted by pirates and held captive. Willow is a jewel among women and Dariq formulates a plan. He will exchange Willow for his mother; a trade that will bring his mother to safety. But it isn't long before Willow becomes as essential to Dariq as the air in his lungs and the blood in his veins. She is his heart and soul. He knows his brother won't want her if he beds her, so Dariq vows not to touch Willow. He must spare her for his mother's sake.

We shall see, Prince, we shall see.

True to Ms. Mason's usual style, THE PIRATE PRINCE is sensual and appealing. The characters are strong and sure, and the storyline is filled with suspense. Sit back and escape to the Middle East for this fast-paced adventure. You'll be glad you did.
