A dark foe. A forbidden love. A deadly, high-seas quest. Mercenary sailor Jack's past comes back to haunt him when his crew receives a commission during the height of hurricane season. Charged with returning the all-too-familiar Prince Valory to the capital by way of the isles, Jack and schooner Windjammer battle storms and sea-monsters alike in Oceana's treacherous waters. Jack's new patron, however, is no ordinary nobleman. A hardened soldier and powerful commander, Valory boards Windjammer to scour the isles for signs of the mysterious new threat at Oceana's borders: an evil that burns innocents alive and smashes ships to pieces. Yet Jack isn't without secrets of his own -- secrets that unravel under the growing intensity of a forbidden attraction to his patron. Forced to reclaim his lost title, Jack comes face-to-face with the past he thought he'd outrun. As Windjammer races to defend Oceana from invasion, he and Valory must work together to untangle the threads of the dark alliance threatening their home, crew, and kingdom -- or risk losing everything in the process.

Ravi has tried to do everything right his whole life. It hasn't paid off, and he's stuck working for his ex-boyfriend while said ex-boyfriend moves on way too easily. To escape that mess, Ravi accepts a command position running a misfit, low-performing crew out in the middle of nowhere. His very first night in his new life looks promising when he meets charming, enigmatic Lio in a bar. Call it a moment of weakness, but Ravi lets Lio sweep him off his feet and into a bedroom. He almost dares to hope that a spectacular one-night-stand could turn into something more, until he reports to his new command position and discovers Lio is on his crew. It's hands off the recruit, or risk losing command in more ways than one. Pining heroes, dysfunctional found families, possible spaceships and plenty of inappropriate jokes, coming right up!
