Stowaway

When pirates storm the Montez fortress in a violent dawn raid, Helena-an orphaned servant girl taken in by the admiral's family-makes an unthinkable choice:
she disguises herself as the general's son to save him from the hands of the enemy.

Caught in the ruse, Helena is seized by the notorious captain of the Black Siren, a man whispered about in every tavern and feared across every coastline. Ruthless, calculating, and devastatingly composed, the captain recognizes prey when he sees it... yet something in his new captive's defiant stare stops him cold.

Helena expects brutality.
She does not expect heat.
Not the kind that coils low in her chest every time he steps too close, nor the way his eyes track her like a puzzle he intends to solve-slowly, intimately, and without mercy.

Dragged from the burning ruins of the fortress and forced aboard his monstrous ship, Helena enters a world of salt, steel, and secrets. The crew wants her ransom. The Crown wants her dead.
The captain wants something else entirely.

As the sea swallows the shoreline behind them, Helena must cling to her lie with everything she has-even as the man holding her captive grows ever more enthralled by the fire in her, a fire she cannot extinguish.

But on the open ocean, truth has a way of surfacing.
And when the captain discovers who-and what-Helena truly is, the line between obsession and destruction may be the one she cannot afford to cross.

He has taken her freedom.
He might take her heart.
And if she isn't careful... he'll take her soul next.
