A female pirate.

A fateful swordfight.

A night of passion.

After her father’s murder, Alexandra Channing takes to the seas under the guise of a widow to avenge her father’s death and provide for her sister.

Privateer Nathaniel James’s ship is boarded by the most beautiful pirate he’s ever seen. Her skills with a rapier are admirable, but he bests her. He gives her an easy choice: death to her crew, or she must give him a single night of pleasure.

Nathan’s heart is ice, demanding he turn her in for her crimes, but he desires her nevertheless. Will that intense heat melt the ice?

Will the rebellious woman succumb to his seduction, or will she win the battle over him—and over her own heart?
