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 societyโs 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 itโs 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 โGrayโ Grayson is trouble in snug-fitting boots. A conscienceless scoundrel who sails the seas for pleasure and profit, Gray lives for conquestโuntil Sophiaโs perception and artistry stir his heart. Suddenly heโll brave sharks, fire, storm, and sea just to keep her at his side. Sheโs beautiful, refined, and ripe for seduction. Could this counterfeit governess be a rogueโs redemption? Or will the runaway heiressโs secrets destroy their only chance at love?
