Shadow Of The Corsairs

The Past Casts a Shadow Over a Second Chance For Love.... Palermo, 1810 Morwena Gambino is struggling to keep her family's business going against mounting troubles. Her widowed father, once shrewd, is now increasingly forgetful, letting debts mount and disavowing his sons. Morwena runs the shop behind his back, forced to hide her enterprise not only from her father but also her bitter older brother. In Tunisia, Tewodros "Jonathan" Afua is struggling to stay alive. Once an Ethiopian prince, he is a captive of the corsairs who slaughtered his wife and children. When a US naval bombardment provides an opening for escape, Jonathan falls in with a seemingly deranged English pirate. Aboard Kit Hardacre's rundown ship with its ragtag crew, Jonathan learns the real reason he was taken by slavers. Reluctantly joining Hardacre's crew, he meets Morwena in Palermo. The fiery young Sicilian woman is the opposite of his quiet reserve, but he is attracted to her despite mourning for his late wife. As he and Morwena grow closer, it emerges that they have something in common - secret betrayal by those close to them - and they must count what they're willing to risk for a future together.
