A wonderful Regency romance by one of our best-known and most beloved historical novelists, reissued with a beautiful new cover as part of our Heyer backlist project

Sir Nicholas Beauvallet has never been known to resist a challenge.

When he captures a galleon at sea, and the treasure turns out to be the lovely Dona Dominica de Rada y Silva, he vows to return her and her father to the shores of Spain.

But, upon his immediate return, he proposes another venture; one more reckless than any of his exploits on the high seas which have made him the equal of Sir Francis Drake and a favourite of Queen Elizabeth I.

He will take Dominica as his bride, even if it leads him into peril ...
