Pirates!

Pirates! by Celia Rees is the story of two female pirates.

Nancy lives with her father and brothers. She has no female companions or influence. She runs wild around the house and all over the ships her father owns. That is until her father remarries. Then she is to become a proper lady.

But the final change comes about when she is shipped off to Jamaica to her father's plantation. There she is to be wed to a Brazilian plantation owner as a bargain to save her family's failing business.

It is not surprising when she runs away with her slave. But they cannot stay on the island or they will be found. Soon they join a pirate ship, dressed as men, and begin a life of high seas adventure.

But will the Brazilian ever stop looking for them?
