An omnibus of novels by Ellie St. Clair
Daughters and sons of a duke are expected to marry for wealth and power -- are they not? What happens when love comes calling in these five stories of the sons and daughters in the Harrington family?
Book One: Quest of Honor
Eleanor Adams has only ever known one life, sailing the high seas with her father, the gentleman pirate captain. Her destiny is to one day assume command of the ship, continuing her father's legacy of aiding the poor while eluding the Navy Captain who continues to hunt them. She despises the man for his relentless pursuit and is determined to be free of his chase forever. Thomas Harrington, second son of the Duke of Ware, joined the Royal Navy to escape from his life in society and find the freedom his soul had been searching for. Instead, he has spent three years attempting to bring the elusive pirate Captain Adams to justice. He disdains everything he believes about the pirate life and will stop at nothing to capture the prey that has eluded him for so long. The beautiful blonde woman he meets in a tavern haunts Thomas' daydreams, until he finds her in the unlikeliest of circumstances. The freedom his soul has been searching for and the honor he so upholds clash within him as Thomas and Eleanor fight their desire for one another. As they question everything they've ever believed, can they find a way forward together?
