1 New York Times bestselling author Julie Garwood proves why she is the undisputed queen of romance yet again with this sensual story of passion and adventure on the high seas.

Beautiful and audacious, Sara Winchester is no longer the child she was when she married Nathan, Marquess of St. James. Determined to win his love completely, Sara, blissfully unaware of Nathan’s notorious bootlegging past, has been gleefully waiting for the day when her husband would come to reclaim her heart. The man who stands before her is arrogant, mysterious, and undeniably sexy…an infamous pirate whose touch arouses her wildest, deepest desires.

Aboard his ship, The Seahawk, Nathan becomes infuriated yet enchanted by Sara’s sweetly defiant ways, but upon their return to England, their love will be painfully tested by an ugly family scandal that threatens to tear them apart. With their future at stake, they discover the true destiny of their love.
