1775, Boston Harbor. James Sparhawk, Master and Commander in
the British Navy, knows trouble when he sees it. The ship
he's boarded is carrying ammunition and gold...into a
country on the knife's edge of war. Sparhawk's duty is
clear: confiscate the cargo, impound the vessel and seize
the crew. But when one of the ship's boys turns out to be a
lovely girl, with a loaded pistol and dead-shot aim,
Sparhawk finds himself held hostage aboard a Rebel privateer.
Sarah Ward never set out to break the law. Before Boston
became a powder keg, she was poised to escape the stigma of
being a notorious pirate's daughter by wedding Micah Wild,
one of Salem's most successful merchants. Then a Patriot mob
destroyed her fortune and Wild played her false by marrying
her best friend and smuggling a chest of Rebel gold aboard
her family's ship.
Now branded a pirate herself, Sarah will do what she must to
secure her family's safety and her own future. Even if that
means taking part in the cat and mouse game unfolding in
Boston Harbor, the desperate naval fight between British and
Rebel forces for the materiel of war—and pitting
herself against James Sparhawk, the one man she cannot resist.
