The lure of the legendary Spice Trail beckons, but he may never find a spice more precious than the treasure he left in Charles Town.
(New title…same great story! Originally titled as Georgia Ann ~ English Rose.)
Two Charles Town men love Georgia Ann Cooper—Samuel Vargas and his step-brother, Joshua Becket—but only one both attracts and infuriates her. Even though he’s a dangerous budding … Even though he’s a dangerous budding patriot and a privateer—or more likely pirate—Samuel fills her dreams and waking moments. When he leaves Charles Town for high sea adventure on the legendary Spice Trail, she determines to push him out of her thoughts and her graces. A task made easier when she sets out on her own journey to England on one of her father’s merchant ships.
Samuel Vargas is determined to make his own way in the world, not live in the glow of his parents’ escapades in Charles Town and the Spanish Main. There’s no better place to earn his fortune than the Spice Trail and along the Barbary Coast of the Mediterranean. But the adventure becomes more than he bargained for when, at Tripoli, he stumbles across a familiar face from Charles Town in a sultan’s dungeon. He’s forced to use all his abilities to save the life of the woman he’s been trying to forget.
As their paths intertwine on a journey filled with Barbary pirates, intrigue, and romance, only love and the grace of God can overcome the past and ignite a new beginning for Georgia Ann and Samuel.

WOW!! This book was definitely action-packed. The situations the characters found themselves in kept me reading non-stop. I am a fan of historical fiction and love clean, wholesome and inspirational books where the romantic involvements reflect the moral standards of the time. This book had a lot of romance, albeit, suspenseful, and I always love the happily ever after ending. Also, the author obviously did a great deal of research on the trials people had to deal with at that time, especially when sailing the high seas. Elva Cobb Martin is a good writer and I will continue to read her books.
PURELY DELIGHTFUL romance! I thoroughly enjoyed reading Elva Martin‘s latest romance novel! Her books are so refreshing and her writing so descriptive! It paints a vivid picture of a southern belle on a historic plantation being swooned by a handsome fella. This beautiful love story had an unexpected twist at the end! I’m so thankful for this author of Christisn romance novels!
