FCRW Beacon Award--Historical Romance! "Lucky" Jack Burrell's quest for revenge against Sophia Deford will have to wait until he discharges a debt. He has to team up with the little thief to find the fabled pirate treasure Garvey's Gold, then he can wring her dainty neck. Sophia has no intention of sharing anything with anyone. She will have all of Garvey's Gold, no matter how much Jack's lean-muscled body makes her want to get to know him just a little bit better before she gets rid of him. With the US and Britain at peace following the War of 1812, East Florida is the setting for a search for booty that will take the reluctant partners across a land filled with pirates, privateers, Seminoles, schemers, speculators, low-lifes, insects, alligators, and a possum or two. As the two adversaries squabble their way across the wilderness following the clues on their treasure map, they know that before they're through they're going to kiss each other, kill each other...or both. Reviews of The Bride and the Buccaneer: "... Hot damn if you haven't come through like a champ. We've got pirates, um - I mean privateers, pirate treasure, hot sexing, early Florida, lots of insects and a great match up of hero and heroine. Yep, well worth the wait....A fantastically matched couple, fun and adventure, seeing Captain Sinister again = a happy Jayne when I electronically flipped the last page."--Dear Author Reviews "...A wonderful romp through the wilds of Spanish Florida. Laced with a host of unique characters, intriguing clues that reveal the depth of Marshall's research and humorous lines, this spellbinding tale snares the reader from the opening page to the end...This delightfully entertaining romance is sure to capture a pirate lover's heart."--Pirates and Privateers
