To hunt a legend, she must become one. Ophelia Heimes is a pirate forged from a legacy of lies. Disguised as a noblewoman, she infiltrates the world of Lucien Vale, a brilliant but ruthless captain, who sees in her the perfect figurehead for his own empire. Bound by a shared goal and a dangerous attraction, they must navigate a sea of betrayal where the greatest threat may be the truth they uncover about each other. But as their hunt becomes a battle for control of the Caribbean itself, Ophelia must decide if she will remain the monster vengeance demands, become the legend her bloodline destined her to be, or something else entirely.

Ophelia
"I'd jump after you into the pit of fire if I had to, Ophelia. Don't question that, and don't you ever ask me not to." ________________ Lilia thought she knew loneliness. She thought she understood grief. Haunted by a painful past, she kept running-from city to city, never looking back. All she wanted was a place where no one knew her. Then Dominic Brooks walked into her life. Chaotic, intense, and impossible to ignore, he and his makeshift family threatened to shatter every wall she'd built. But what unsettles her most isn't Dominic's presence-it's the way he looks at her, like he already knows her. The way he calls her Ophelia, as if it means something. And the way, despite everything, he feels like home. _______________ "Ophelia." "Ophelia, please." Isn't it funny? How this nickname works so perfectly. The world pushed Ophelia to the edge of her sanity, throwing her into the inevitability of a tragic ending. Here I am, facing the same fate. But no writer will engrave my name in history. No painting will be named after me. I'm just another insignificant part of the big book of life. Just another iteration of Ophelia.Complete
