Nathaniel Bainbridge is used to hiding, whether it's concealing his struggles with reading or his forbidden desire for men. Under the thumb of his controlling father, he's sailing to the fledgling colony of Primrose Isle, where he'll surrender to a respectable marriage for his family's financial gain.

Until pirates strike and he's kidnapped for ransom by the Sea Hawk, a legendary villain of the New World.

Bitter and jaded, Hawk harbors futile dreams of leaving the sea for a quiet life. But men like him don't deserve peace. He has a score to settle with his captive's father-the very man whose treachery forced him into piracy-and he's sure Nathaniel is just as contemptible.

Yet as days pass in close quarters, Nathaniel's feisty spirit and alluring innocence beguile and bewitch. The desire to teach Nathaniel the pleasure men can share grows uncontrollable. What's the harm in satisfaction?

Hawk would never feel anything for him...

Nathaniel realizes the fearsome Sea Hawk's reputation is largely invented. He sees the lonely man beneath the myth, willingly surrendering to his captor body and soul. As a pirate's prisoner, he is finally free to be his true self. With danger mounting, the time for Hawk to relinquish his prize looms. Will his greatest battle be with his own heart?

Kidnapped by the Pirate by Keira Andrews is a breeches-ripping gay romance featuring a tough pirate too afraid to love, a plucky captive half his age, enemies to lovers, first times and exploration, and of course a happy ending.
