The Sugar Baron's Governess

By Elva Cobb Martin

She needs a new start...He knows a reckoning is coming.

Banished from Charleston for his misdeeds years earlier, Joshua Becket built a new life on both sides of the law in Jamaica. But he guards a secret identity. As a sugar plantation owner and member of the governing British Assembly, he's known and respected on the island. As swashbuckling Captain Jay, he leads daredevil privateering exploits on his ship, the Eagle, when the mood suits him. Currently, he needs a governess for his young daughter.

Widowed gentlewoman Abigail Welch accepted the governess position, leaving behind her disintegrated life in Charleston. This new start in Jamaica might finally help her find healing for her broken heart after losing her husband in the Revolution and their infant son to yellow fever.

Joshua's precocious, undisciplined daughter is the drawing card that brings him and Abigail together like clashing cymbals of disagreement...and fiery attraction. Can love and the miracle power of God give them a new beginning and a happily ever after?

A Pirate Romance

The Sugar Baron’s Governess by Elva Cobb Martin is the fourth book in her Charleston Brides series. Abigail Welch, needing a change after the death of her husband, travels to Jamaica to become governess to Joshua Becket’s seven-year-old daughter. Looking for pirates, intrigue and adventure? Then this is a story for you. Although Joshua is a rogue; with Abigail’s influence and the prayers of his family there is change in store for him. There were a few aspects in the story that could have been left out, and the cover could have been a little less suggestive. I received this book from Celebrate-Lit for my honest review.
