Circumstances have changed; they're worse. Valoree has been named heir to Ainsley Castle. And the will distinctly states that in order to inherit, she must be married to a nobleman...and pregnant. Upon learning that, the virgin captain is ready to return to the seas, but her crew puts the issue to a vote-and for those rascally cusses she will do anything. Reluctantly, she agrees. If they can find a way-Henry and One-Eye and Skully-to put on her a sweet face that will fool the ton, she will handle the rest. Even with a drunken prostitute as an "aunt" and her merry cutthroat crew as "servants." But to herself she swears one thing: She can only marry a man who fires her blood, a man who is not afraid of a lady pirate.
