Captain Ironhand

In the Year of Our Lord, 1772, at the solemn instant of signing, James Challoner, Ex-Captain of the Royal Navy, started out on one of the boldest schemes ever devised. Masquerading as a bloodthirsty, plundering freebooter-the pirate Captain Ironhand-Challoner intended to destroy the power of the savage Moorish corsairs who preyed on British shipping.

But Challoner did not know that before his battle was half over he would be face to face with his greatest hazard: a beautiful spitfire of a girl nicknamed by the rabble Lady Grant-em-all-who would not rest until she won the only man who had ever scorned her!

Her best-known works, such as The Bixby Girls and Kitty, were widely read and adapted into films, including The Scarlet Coat. Blending historical accuracy with romance and adventure, Marshalls novels captivated mid-20th-century audiences with their vivid storytelling and dynamic characters.
