"I don't believe the sea ever intended to carry us to safety. "
Arabella Ellesmere flees a life of comfort, stability, and nobility to escape a man she refuses to marry. Testing her fate at sea sends her directly into the clutches of pirates. Forced to evolve to survive, Arabella masquerades as a young boy to avoid the tragic fate of a lone woman at sea.
Yet can she fool the Captain Carroway? Sharp, brutal, and honest, Carroway is completely foreign to the life Arabella has known. She wakes each day to outlast her stay on "The Maiden's Scorn," yet something is churning in unknown waters. As hatred turns to something far more dangerous, Arabella might just discover passion is the most perilous thing of all.
