I never intended to become a pirate. My family name and our honor are those things dearest to my heart. But when our enemies accused us of treason, I did the only thing I could . . . I took to the seas and have never ceased my quest to regain my good name.
The opportunity for revenge and redemption has just presented itself. In a mysterious plot, I have managed to kidnap the intended fiancée of my greatest foe. Unfortunately, I didn't anticipate her beauty or courage. I find myself thinking of her constantly and wondering if this marriage of convenience could ever become more. Someone should tame this passionate enchantress, and who better than a rake and a pirate, a man with nothing to lose . . .
