This is the story of Sara Winchester who was married at age 4 to Nathan St. James age 14, which in it sekf is disgusting. However, Nathan left and lived the good life of a pirate and was totally enjoying his life. However, the condition of the marriage entailed some land and gold which had to be claimed by these two producing an heir before a deadling . So, adult Nathan returns to England to kidnap his wife and commence married life his only interest being the land and the funds. Sara has grown up knowing that she is married and fantizing about her husband who she had not seen in at lease 14 years, she is engaged in attempted to rescue herAunt who is being mis-treated by her father and uncle for her inheritance, they have decided to declare her incompetent and thereby claim her money. The night that Nathan plans to kidnap Sara he finds her climbing out of her window in the dead of night on her own mission. of course after following and protecting unbeknownst to her he takes her and her Aunt both to his ship and the marriage begins.

I did not find this as good as " The Wedding". Sara was written as a air headed stumbling bumpkin. The Sailors aboard the ship began to wear garlic leis around their necks to ward off "her bad spirits. It was more silly than humorous and Sara seemed too stupid to be real. The comedy reminds me of "Toppers " wife in that old movie series. Just inanely stupid. I was disappointed as I read the Wedding and loved it. This was mildly enjoyable but lacked in comparison. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0671702505, Mass Market Paperback)

A child bride, Sara Winchester had grown into a winsome beauty, joyfully anticipating the day when her husband Nathan, Marquess of St. James, would return to claim her heart at last. Charmingly innocent, she dismissed the ancient feud that divided Nathan's family from her own...and she was totally unaware of his past exploits as the notorious pirate, Pagan. The man who now stood before her was perplexing, arrogant and powerfully handsome...a warrior-gentleman whose gentle touch aroused her to the wildest, deepest pleasures of love.

Nathan had never bared his soul to any woman, but he was soon utterly beguiled and exasperated by Sara's sweet, defiant ways. Aboard his ship, The Seahawk, she was brave, imperious and determined to win his heart completely -- yet upon their return to England, her love would be sorely tested as a vile conspiracy tried to tear them apart. With their future at stake, they would discover the true destiny of their passion...for all time!
