Captain Jack’s Woman
Known to his band of smugglers as "Captain Jack," Jonathan, Lord Hendon, has resigned his military commission and returned to his estate near King's Lynn with a mission to control the smuggling routes along the coast of England and to use his connections and his band to smuggle British spies into France. Kathryn "Kit" Cranmer, has returned to King's Lynn, located on the coast of England, after years in London resisting attempts to marry her off. During a midnight ride, Kit stumbles across a band of smugglers and helps them escape capture and, dressed in breeches, becomes one of them. It isn’t long before Jack and Kit come across each other. He is not fooled one bit by the breeches. Although “Captain Jack” is not one of the seven, he becomes entangled in their lives.
