The Diamond King
by Patricia Potter

Once a Highland nobleman, Alex Leslie left the battlefield at Culloden with a soul-searing hatred of the British. As captain of a privateer bound for diamond-rich Brazil, Alex captures every British vessel he encounters. Alex has every reason to hate Scottish lass Jenna Campbell. His lovely but defiant captive belongs to the British-allied clan he most despises. But somewhere in the wild jungle, his dislike gives way to fierce desire.
