Look there are probably flaws in this book. But it's easily my favorite by Lynsay Sands. It's laugh out loud hysterical, a little emotional, there's some pining, but mostly it's got a bananas plot as befits a pirate romance. It definitely feels its age (2001) in places, but it's always hard to take Sands too seriously.
When Valoree goes to claim her inheritance she learns that there is a stipulation on the will: she needs to be married and have an heir by the time she's 25. Unfortunately at just past her 24th birthday this may prove difficult even with her aristocratic blood and piles of pirate gold, because she's been on a ship for so long disguised as a cabin not she hasn't the slightest notion what a lady does. Daniel also has a stipulation on his inheritance. He may have a title already, but the fortune from his mother's side isn't available to him until he's married with an heir on the way. They are clearly the perfect match, but Valoree refuses him because she wants a man she can manage and discard. Luckily her crew has other ideas....
