The Rogue's Lady by Paula Allardyce

This book wasn't too bad. Action, adventure with a little romance on the side made it a pleasing read. The only thing I found odd in the book was the referring to the lady as a bitch quite a few times. That I would have changed.

Ahab had forgotten how lively she was-this spoiled and deceitful "lady" who had once done her best to see him hanged. Now, imprisoned by her marriage to the brutish Lord Dacre, she was desperately begging him to help her escape. It was a moment he had waited for, for six long years. She was at his mercy. He should have savored refusing her, hurting her, but somehow it was not a triumph at all. It was strange and cruelly unfair that his girl, his longtime enemy, should have the power to touch his heart with pity- and with desire.
