The Lytton family saga continues with the great-granddaughter of the original couple to come over on the Mayflower. I found THE PIRATE BRIDE more enjoyable than the first book in the The Daughters of the Mayflower series, The Mayflower Bride. In THE PIRATE BRIDE, we meet Maribel Cordoba and Capitan Jean-Luc Valmont, who are thrown together and separated by acts beyond their control. Each of them deals with their own life and death situations and a sacrifice is made to save Jean. They are thrown into dangerous and complicated situations that you as the reader believe are settled, but surprises arise in their lives as family secrets come to light.

Secrets are kept to protect both Maribel, Jean, and their families, only to be revealed when circumstances bring them back together. Between the alleged death of Maribel's family and her reunion with Jean, enough time has elapsed for her to grow into a young woman. In the meantime, Jean has loved and lost and continued with his life. Maribel is reunited with her family which brings her into Jean-Luc's life once again. Both are stunned that the other is alive, and they begin to work together to bring an old enemy to justice, even though he has a family connection. A misunderstanding threatens the happiness of Maribel and Jean. Kathleen Y'Barbo weaves a story of intrigue, love and separation and reunions, and all in God's intended timeline.

Book Summary

A brand new series for fans of all things related to history, romance, adventure, faith, and family trees.

Pasts Collide in New Orleans when a Treasure Goes Missing

The last time New Orleans attorney Jean-Luc Valmont saw Maribel Cordoba, a Spanish nobleman’s daughter, she was an eleven-year-old orphan perched in the riggings of his privateering vessel proving herself as the best lookout on his crew. Until the day his infamy caught up with them all and innocent lives were lost. Unsure why he survived but vowing to make something of the chance he was given, Jean-Luc has buried his past life so deep that no living person will ever find it—until a very much alive and very grown up Maribel Cordoba arrives on his doorstep and threatens all he now holds dear.
