This pirate's latest prize may be love... With a single pistol shot and the swing of a cutlass, Alice Tupper saves her mistress's life. But no lady's maid in polite society has ever killed a duke--at least, not on purpose. So Alice sets sail for America and her new destiny--only to find herself battling pirates on the high seas. Aboard her rescue ship, The Scarlet Night, she is hailed a hero and earns her place among the crew...as well as the ire of Captain Gavin Quinn. Gavin chose this pirate's life, but he knows it's no place for a woman, especially one as exasperating--and beautiful--as Alice. Despite his desire for her, Gavin is determined to do the right thing and deliver her to the new world. But Alice's deepest wish is a life by Gavin's side. Will his heart overrule his sense, and will he risk everything to pursue his greatest treasure of all?

I, Gideon Keene, have two big problems. Two things, well, people, standing between me and my happiness. One is a vengeful sea witch called Solomon, who has it in for me and my beloved Captain Tate. The other is my father. One has found us, the other is hounding us. It's time to take the battle to them, hold my head high and fight first one, then the other. But how can a cabin boy, a ship's cat, a member of the merfolk and two pirates defeat the most powerful sea witch in the Caribbean? Tate betrayed him, badly, years ago and now his furious magic has drawn our ship to his blasted islands. Assuming we survive, then take on the governor of Jamaica, who is determined to see me married to a nice girl and producing heirs? This is going to take all the courage I have, all the magic I can summon to me, and the wits and understanding of each of my cherished lovers. Not one of us could do it alone, but maybe ... just maybe, we can do it together.

The Captain’s only love is the open sea and the ship he calls home. When it comes to women, he has three rules: never sleep with another’s wife, don’t take virgins into bed, and most importantly, never bring a woman aboard—that brings the worst luck of all.
