Sinopse original:
Can a pirate learn that the only true treasure lies in a
woman's heart?
Widowed Silence Hollingbrook is impoverished, lovely, and kind—and nine months ago she made a horrible mistake. She went to a river pirate for help in saving her husband and in the process made a bargain that cost her her marriage. That night wounded her so terribly that she hides in the foundling home she helps run with her brother. Except now that same river pirate is back . . . and he's asking for her help.
"Charming" Mickey O'Connor is the most ruthless river pirate in London. Devastatingly handsome and fearsomely intelligent, he clawed his way up through London's criminal underworld. Mickey has no use for tender emotions like compassion and love, and he sees people as pawns to be manipulated. And yet he's never been able to forget the naive captain's wife who came to him for help—and spent one memorable night in his bed . . . talking.
When his bastard baby girl was dumped in his lap—her mother having died—Mickey couldn't resist the Machiavellian urge to leave the baby on Silence's doorstep. The baby would be hidden from his enemies and he'd also bind Silence to him by her love for his daughter

Opinião:
3° livro da série Maiden Laine. Depois de pequenos capítulos nos
livros anteriores finalmente ficamos a conhecer a historia da
Silence. Irmã mais da 1° protagonista. No 1° livro Silence tomou
uma decisão para salvar o marido, que acabou por lhe destruir o
casamento, no 2° vemos uma Silence a reconstruir-se depois do marido
ter preferido voltar para o mar e a ignorar, depois da má fama que
ganhou, agora trabalho no orfanato, e tenta criar a bebé que lhe foi
abandonada à porta. Silence fica viúva, algo que a faz sofrer
sobretudo porque gostaria que o marido tivesse acreditado nela. Mas
heis que surge de novo Mickey O'Connor, o famoso pirata do Tamisa e
responsável pelo abandono do marido e da sua reputação destruída.
A bebé que recolheu é filha dele, e esse vem busca-la. Mickey é um
homem rico, poderoso, temido. A sua vida foi tudo menos um mar de
rosas e agora o seu passado volta para se vingar. Um inimigo esta
disposto a tudo para destrui-lo e fazer sofrer. Quando este descobre
aonde Mickey escondia a filha decide rapta-la. Mickey adianta-se trás
de volta a filha e faz de tudo para que Silence venha também morar
com ele. Achei piada ao romance, ele não sabe como amar, e confiar,
ela não lhe perdoa o acordo que fez com ela no 1° livro e
sobretudo, admitir que ele tinha razão, e que o marido não a amava.
Gostei da “fortaleza” e dos seus habitantes. Existe bastante
acção e algum drama na parte final. É um livro com momentos
bastante emotivos. Neste livro é praticamente dito quem é o famoso
fantasma, era previsível, mas a sua historia promete.
Nota: 3,5/5
