"How dare you bring me aboard this ship without so much as telling me what you are?" She yelled. Kincade let out a smug grin, one that infuriated Astryd even more. She took a few more steps toward him so that they were mere feet apart. He looked down at a doubloon he was holding and slowly turned it over in his hands as he spoke. "I saw a troubled woman in a sailor's pub, obviously hiding from the royal guards. Surely you must have gotten yourself into a sticky situation. And you don't expect me to assume what you are?" Astryd fumbled for words. What was he getting at? He lifted his head to look her in the eyes. "You're a thief and now a sailor. You know what that makes you, sweetheart?" "I am not a..." she shouted, but she stumbled at the last word. She pointed her finger in Kincade's face and whispered, "pirate." -------------------------------------------- I would like to acknowledge Thompson Editing Services, who is responsible for being my editor and proofreader for this book as well as an amazing writing mentor.

**THIS IS THE THIRD BOOK IN THE CAPTAIN STYLES SERIES. READ THE FIRST TWO BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO READ THIS. YOU WILL BE UTTERLY LOST IF YOU TRY TO CONTINUE** It's been six years since Bella last saw Harry. Bella has her own life now, raising her child on her own for almost six years, but even then she has never forgotten the pirate that she loves. No one has seen The Belladonna since it cast off England's shore six years ago, although a new reputation is attached with the name: Death and agony. That was what was expected if anyone came across that dreaded ship. The Captain was ruthless and cruel, killing everyone he came across. They'd attack merchant ships, pirate ships, and cargo ships. Not even the children would make it out alive if they were caught by him. The seas became a very fearful and terrifying place for people to be, no matter who they were. It became a known fact that if you went out to sea, you may never return. Bella - knowing the new reputation - is in agony trying to figure out just what has happened to the loving man she knew and the kind crew mates on board. What had happened to them all? One fateful day, however, Bella's question is answered as she is taken in for ransom to gain favor in the cruel pirate's eyes. But favor was not what was given that day, and Bella soon finds out who Harry has become. And she's horrified by what she learns.
