A lady’s guide to surviving aboard a pirate ship:
1) Dress as a cabin boy.

The last thing Roberta Harcourt needs is to be trapped on a ship with pirates. After she is separated from her father when their ship is attacked, Roberta finds herself the unwilling guest of sinfully handsome Captain Dominic Grey.
