FROM OUR EDITORS

The Barnes & Noble Review
Don't you just hate it when you hear about a book by one of your favorite authors and you can't find a copy anywhere? That sort of thing happens all too often with books that came out early in an author's career. That's why Avon has brought out a beautiful reissue of Only with Your Love, a passionate romantic adventure that first came out in 1992, before Lisa Kleypas became a New York Times bestselling author. Lovely Frenchwoman Celia Vallerand was little more than a bride when her life veered suddenly off course. The ship she and her husband, Philippe (the son of the protagonists of Only in Your Arms) were traveling on was boarded by pirates, and even her new husband's connection to a powerful Creole family in New Orleans could not prevent the fierce brigands from casting her wounded husband overboard and claiming her as a prize. In a matter of moments, she became both a widow and a captive -- a gift for Andre Legare, a man nototious for his cruelty even among pirates. Fortunately, Captain Griffin of the privateer The Vagabond pays a fortune in ransom for Celia. But, even in Griffin's hands, Celia is still not out of danger. For her handsome rescuer arouses irresistible desires￯﾿ﾽeven as fate involves them in a deception that endangers both their lives. Sue Stone

FROM THE PUBLISHER

The newlywed bride of a Creole aristocrat, Celia Vallerand prays for deliverance from the blood thirsty brigands who abducted her from a New Orleans-bound schooner. Though she believes her beloved husband slain and despairs for her own life, the shy French beauty fears above all the dashing privateer who pays a king's ransom to claim her ... and boldly risks capture to possess her. The most notorious pirate of the open seas, he is called "the Griffin" — a rugged and powerful renegade who arouses within Celia desires as dangerous as they are irresistible. But the magnificent adventurer is a man trapped in a perilous deception-and he guards a shocking secret that could deny him the love of the gossamer-haired enchantress who stirs his manly passions and enslaves his heart.
