Is she dreaming? New York artist Tanya Taylor is amazed — and incredibly turned on — when real-life pirate Stede O’Flannery magically appears in her bedroom ready for action. The dark-haired, green-eyed, sexy seafarer is shirtless, strapped with a sword — and those breeches? They leave nothing to Tanya’s naughty imagination. But he looks just like the subject in the wild and mysterious old painting she’s just bought. The truth is Stede has one week to break a fateful curse. He’s got to fall in love — and fast. Good thing Tanya, with her chestful of toys, knows the most pleasurable ways to a man’s heart. After all, doesn’t she deserve something deliciously wicked out of the deal, too?
