CHARTERED LOVE

Captain John Darrow gets more than he plans for when he takes on Elizabeth McCain's challenge to find a boatload of sunken gold. Darrow knows the China Seas well, and his ship, the Malacca Maid, has sailed into every port. But this will be no easy task. Particularly since the pirate Hayama is on his tail.

Darrow sets out with his crew with little hope of finding the treasure, and soon enough, they are in the midst of raging storm-with Hayama's crew blasting away at them. If only it was just Darrow's hide, but now he's got Elizabeth to worry about, and something more he hadn't counted on... love!
