A Spanish lady all fire and heart When Beauvallet captures the galleon carrying Doña Dominica de Rada y Sylvan and her father, he vows to return them safely to the shores of Spain.

Elizabethan historical adventure with a bit of a love story. Beauvallet captures the ship on which Dona Domina de Rada y Sylvan and her father are traveling. He returns her to Spain but vows to elope with her despite all of Spain determined to kill him. Such fun! So much daring! So much swashbuckling!

A swashbuckling adventure set in Elizabethian England, this is a very different Heyer from her typical regency fare. A slow start but give it a chance and I think it will surprise you.

CrowCAH Have your read Arabella? It's on my TBR, from reading The Fiction Class; a touching book. 7y
