Descrip­tions

Quand son jeune frère Henry est gravement blessé, le corsaire d'origine américaine David Fletcher n'hésite pas à attaquer un bâteau anglais pour enlever le médecin. Le jeune homme qui opère Henry sous la menace et lui sauve la vie a une sacrée trempe. Il a beau être gringalet, il lui tient tête, si bien que, en dépit de leur cohabitation orageuse à bord du Fancy, Fletcher finit par apprécier la compagnie du Dr Charley Alcott, que n'effraient ni la vermine, ni la gangrène, ni les amputations. Ce qu'il ignore, c'est que Charley s'appelle en réalité Charlotte... et que ses habits dissimulent des courbes délicieusement féminines.

David Fletcher needs a surgeon, stat! But when he captures a British merchantman in the Caribbean what he gets is Charley Alcott, an apprentice physician barely old enough to shave. Needs must, and Captain Fletcher takes the prisoner back aboard his ship with orders to do his best, or he'll be walking the plank.

Charley Alcott's medical skills are being put to the test in a life-or-death situation, Charley's life as well as the patient's. Even if she can save the American privateer's brother there will still be hell to pay--and maybe a plank to walk--when Captain Fletcher learns Charley is really Charlotte Alcott.

A war is raging on the world's oceans, and the two enemies will fight their own battles and their attraction to each other as they undergo a sea change neither of them is expecting, but cannot deny.
