Heart of Fragile Stars

Dashing French corsair Jean-Philippe Beauvisage revels in his unrestricted life until the night at a ball in Georgian London, when a Russian beauty steals his heart.

Heartbroken Antonia Varyshkova, who has lost her parents and her home in a St. Petersburg fire, stops in London en route to a new life with her brother in America. When her arrogant ship’s captain, Tobias Ormond, insists that she attend a ball with him, Antonia reluctantly agrees. The instant connection between Jean-Philippe and Antonia is soul-deep, but it seems that there cannot be a future for them. She sails off to America and he returns to his pirate’s life at sea until an ancient Roman sword which may be cursed forces Beauvisage to chase down the very ship carrying the woman he loves.
