The Lady and the Dragon
by Shelley Bradley

A not-so-proper lady on a quest for freedom sneaks aboard the ship of an infamous privateer determined to save his brother—and resist love. Who will win this clash of wills?

A Runaway Heiress

When bold, beautiful Lady Christina Delafield discovered her overbearing grandfather planned to tame her at a Swiss finishing school, Christina stowed away on the first ship leaving London harbor, determined to make her own way in life. But the mysterious captain of the Dragon's Lair was a seductive reason to relinquish her independence—and embrace desire.

A Gentleman Pirate

Drexell Cain had lived for four years as the merciless Black Dragon, the scourge of the seas. Bent on rescuing his brother from the British Navy, Drex would do anything to return him to his wife and son—even kidnap the Lord Admiral's granddaughter for ransom. A lovely blonde stowaway was an unexpected complication, until he discovered her real identity—and her passionate claim on his heart.

Shelley Bradley's Bio

Shelley Bradley lives in the southwest with her husband and daughter, juggling the many roles in her life: writer, mother, wife and all around laundress. She refuses to pick up an iron. Shelley also squeezes in time for fun activities like reading, obsessively studying all things Harry Potter, watching (again) every episode of Trading Spaces, doing step aerobics and weightlifting, and listening to an eclectic blend of music. Who else would have Depeche Mode, Tchaikovsky, the soundtrack to Broadway's Mamma Mia and Disney Princess songs in her car's CD player all at once?

The author of sizzling contemporary, erotic and historical romances, Shelley has been a member of Romance Writers of America for over fifteen years and has won or placed in over a dozen contests, including the Golden Heart.
