Roslynn Sherwood cannot let her brother die. Simon had done some terrible things, but when their own father signs his execution, a broken Roslynn will do everything in her power to set her brother free - even if that means making a deal with the deadliest pirate in the West Indies. Captain Hunter 'Maddog' Grey has been haunting the seas for years. His business with Simon Sherwood had brought him to a moral dilemma - to save the two siblings, or keep them hostage until Governor Sherwood would pay for a high ransom. A scarred and lonely man, the figure of a monster on every tale Roslynn has ever heard, Captain Grey is what separates her from her happy ending, and her brother's freedom.
