Lancer was the only heir to the Le Dore Dukedom. The title was well within his grasp after his father's unfortunate demise-thrown from a horse-and his mother's disappearance to God knows where. With no obstacles left, Lancer was poised to claim his long-awaited inheritance. Until his mother returned from the dead... with a pirate. Enter Dulce-a man with no qualms about taking what once belonged to someone else. A life spent at sea had honed his instincts into those of a cunning thief, and if he could steal a dukedom not with a gun, but with a lifted skirt, then so be it. Their introduction reeked of hostility and venom. They were destined to clash over power, wealth, and reputation. But beneath the rage, is there a fire waiting to ignite? Do either of them know what it means to find treasure-not in title or land, but in a person? Read and find out. Inspired by Bridgerton.
