An epic tale of love, freedom, and the wild call of the sea.
Forced into a gilded cage and betrothed to a ruthless commodore, Lady Isla Blackthorne has spent her life dreaming of freedom-and burning to escape. On the eve of her unwanted wedding, she risks everything and flees into the night, stowing away aboard the infamous pirate ship The Tempest.
But freedom comes at a price.
Captain Rhys Everhart is a legend-rogue, cursed, and loyal only to the sea. When he discovers the stowaway noblewoman hiding in his hold, sparks fly, tempers flare, and a deadly connection is ignited. Isla is bold, defiant, and more than she seems-and Rhys knows she could be the key to unlocking the ancient power he's been chasing his entire life.
Bound together by fate and hunted by sea monsters, vengeful pirate queens, and the Royal Navy, Isla and Rhys must navigate treacherous waters-both literal and emotional. As they race toward the legendary Heart of the Tempest, a mythical relic said to control the sea and the soul, they must confront the truths they've long buried and the feelings they never expected.
But the deeper they fall, the greater the storm-and the cost of love may be everything.
⚓ Perfect for fans of Pirates of the Caribbean, Outlander, and The Mummy - this romantic high-seas adventure will steal your breath, break your heart, and sweep you away.
