Alone on land, she must adapt quickly and forge a new survival plan as events spiral beyond her control…Having been pitched head-first into life aboard a Navy vessel, Matthew is fighting to find his sea legs, whilst steadfastly ignoring his developing feelings for the carpenter. Determined to avoid trouble, he tries to fit in with the officers aboard, whether he can trust them or not…Nicolas Cavendish is set on becoming a renowned pirate, keeping his lover Christina happy and their young son safe. However, as his reputation grows so do the constant dangers and as they mount up, the strain begins to tell.
