THE CAPTAIN'S DOXY 1980 ISBN: 0843930810
If you enjoy the Alpha men of romance novels written in the late 70's early 80's then this book is for you...this hero is actually quite rough to begin with toward the heroine, because he mistook her for a hooker...he is much kinder towards her and does attempt to treat her better, albeit no less arrogantly so if you like macho arrogant men, pirates, ships and lots of action this is a good read, but it is not for everyone.
Homeless, friendless, and pursued by the law for stabbing a lecherous nobleman in defense of her honor, lovely Katy Coswell was abducted aboard the pirate ship Hawk, where she was forced to share the bed of cruel and relentless James Bartlett, captain of the buccaneers. Katy soon finds herself responding with equal ardor to the captains carresses...now her only fear is if Jaime will love her in return.

The Captain's Doxy reads like a "How to have your own abusive relationship" guide.
I love a an Old Skool Bodice Ripper as much as the next book-slut, but this was just depressing.
