New author Tessa Dare takes passion to the high seas in this
steamy tale of a runaway bride and a devilishly disarming
privateer.
Desperate to escape a loveless marriage
and society’s constraints, pampered heiress Sophia Hathaway
jilts her groom, packs up her paints and sketchbook, and
assumes a new identity, posing as a governess to secure
passage on the Aphrodite. She wants a life of her own:
unsheltered, unconventional, uninhibited. But it’s one thing
to sketch her most wanton fantasies, and quite another to
face the dangerously handsome libertine who would steal both
her virtue and her gold.
To any well-bred lady,
Benedict “Gray” Grayson is trouble in snug-fitting boots. A
conscienceless scoundrel who sails the seas for pleasure and
profit, Gray lives for conquest–until Sophia’s perception
and artistry stir his heart. Suddenly he’ll brave sharks,
fire, storm, and sea just to keep her at his side. She’s
beautiful, refined, and ripe for seduction. Could this
counterfeit governess be a rogue’s redemption? Or will the
runaway heiress’s secrets destroy their only chance at love?
