author:  Anne Stuart 
description: "The second in Stuarts Scandal at the House of Russell series is the kind of challenging, wonderfully rewarding romance that her fans have come to relish." <em>RT Book Reviews</em>, 4  Stars<br /><br />"<em>Never Trust a Pirate</em> is in the traditional mold of historical romance ... from the school of tempestuous relationships and dubious consent; not aiming to do anything especially new, but just to deliver on a swoony hero and a heroine that can turn his life upside down ... an adventure between a well-matched pair." <em>Heroes and Heartbreakers</em>
