ECSTASY'S TIES
The notorious pirate, "The Raven," despised anything British--and that included ravishing Lady Season Chatsworth. The black-garbed captin had kidnapped the English beauty as ransom for an American patriot. But the longer the Redcoats stalled negotiations, the more time the Raven spent with his prisoner...and the closer he came to tumbling her to his bed! Soon all thoughts of freedom for the Colonies fled his mind and the only cause he now embraced was possessing his sumptuous captive!
LOVE'S BONDS
Emerald-eyed Season Chatsworth had defied her father's plans for her future; she certainly wasn't about to obey a stranger's commands! Escape was all the spirited young woman could think of--until she gazed into her handsome abductor's eyes and lost her will to resist. His searing touch and devouring kiss kept her by his side with more force than manacles of steel. Then the moment came when Season no longer rebelled against the cruel fate that linked her to the Raven; now she was forever bound to him by passion's VELVET CHAINS.

Re: Velvet Chains
同樣讀了很久，現在憑印象補劇情。
這個故事發生在美國獨立戰爭時期，這個時期的男主角大都不外乎具有雙重身分的私掠(海盜)船船長，我還滿喜歡這種隱瞞身分的老梗。
女主角Season 是公爵之女，因為反對父親的逼婚，就故意假裝和馬伕廝混想讓對方悔婚，沒想到父親反而更生氣，因為流言已經在英國的上流社會中傳開，只能把女兒嫁給美國的表親。
女主角在一場舞會上認識男主角Lucas ，彼此雙方均受到震撼，但因女主角的流言也已傳到美國，男主受到流言影響，加上是朋友的未婚妻，對女主角不假辭色。
男主角的親戚(叔叔?)後因間諜罪被捕，男主角私心不想讓女主角嫁給別人，就以船長烏鴉Raven的身分綁架了女主角上船要作為談判的籌碼，後來發現誤會女主角之後，就帶女主角到自己的莊園以真實身分照顧她，男主角這時細心呵護女主角，但女主角發現自己還是忘不了烏鴉，後來女主角發現懷了烏鴉的孩子，男主角趁此機會建議女主角嫁給他。
喜歡男主角和女主角父親之間的交流，欲證明自己值得讓女主角託付終身，婚後男主角嫉妒自己另一個身分，女主角掙扎在兩個男人之間，這方面作者寫得滿好的。雖然劇情有些瑕疵和老套，例如:女主角的稱謂錯誤，男主角後來離開女主角很久時間沒聯絡......等等。私心喜歡這種劇情設定，五星推薦。
