England during the reign of Elizabeth I – living the life of a pirate, he has sworn revenge for his family, fallen from grace and dispossessed of all their lands. With the Spanish Armada threatening England’s coastline, he decides to sever all ties to his native country and become a mercenary in the enemy’s service. Only a woman stands between him and high treason, a woman with spirit enough to restore his faith in honour and love.

The first encounter between the enemies England and Spain takes place on a small island in the middle of the Atlantic. The buccaneer has to make the most difficult decision of his life, between long-awaited revenge and the love of his life. How will he decide?

Leseprobe

He stood up. Donna did the same. Her dark eyes shone with a temptation no man had ever been able to resist.
“I hope you shall come to see more than just my masculine intellect,” she purred and brushed the hard-muscled top of his arm as if by accident. Sir Thomas reacted quicker than lightning. He grabbed Donna by the shoulder and tore her to him. Before she could cry out, he forced his mouth hard on her lips. When at last he released her, his eyes were shining, cold and contemptuous.
“I am sure your wishes will be fulfilled, Milady. I expect you back in this inn in one week’s time, then I shall have you brought to my ship. The password is “Mistress”. Your answer: “Stella Maris”. Remember this and farewell.”
Her whole body trembling, Donna watched him cross the tap-room, only to disappear in the crowded streets.
“Yes, we shall meet again, Sir Thomas,” she said softly. Impossible to tell whether her words were meant as a threat or a promise.

Scarcely had the door shut behind Sir Thomas Moncrief, than a young lad jumped up from his seat in the corner, where he had been nursing a small ale unobserved. He hastily threw down a coin on the dirty table, and rushed outside. With long bounds he ran through filthy alleyways to the Rose Theatre, its silhouette showing dark on the banks of the Thames. Without looking to the left or right, he pulled the door open and thundered inside. He came to a stop, out of breath, a few steps in front of the stage where a group of actors was rehearsing. As he stopped, he pulled his hat from his head, releasing a cascade of long blonde curls down his narrow back.
“Eric!” he called in a girl‘s voice as clear as a bell. “Eric, I saw him!”
The rehearsal broke off, and a young man stepped away from the group. He tried to look strict, but his eyes were dancing.
“You are impossible, poppet! What are you doing here? All dressed up like that.”
The girl laughed brightly.
“It is good, is it not? No-one recognised me. I even ordered a beer in a pub. Do not look at me like that, I did not drink it. But that is where I saw him! Him, Eric! Sir Thomas Moncrief!”
