An action-packed historical romance filled with treasure hunts, sword fights, and moonlight kisses! At twenty years old, Brooke Cunningham should already be married to a wealthy older man of means, position, and power. Instead, she's refusing rouge and powder, sassing potential suitors, and staring out her window at the sea, wishing for something more. Enter Captain Charlie Colt, a branded pirate with charm dripping from his lips the way rubies drip from Brooke's earrings. Charlie seeks revenge on those who forced him into this life of crime and Brooke wants to escape from a life she has labeled as mundane. When Brooke finds an old treasure map, Charlie recognizes its value, and they set off on an adventure in order to acquire it. But they aren't the only ones in search of the treasure. If they aren't careful, Brooke and Charlie could face the bottom of the sea, if the gallows don't claim them first.

He doesn't like her; she doesn't care. A Robin Hood pirate captain straight out of legends encounters a saucy barmaid with a dark secret from her past that threatens to ruin her present, and life for both of them will never be the same. Belle has no intention to return to Port Royal and to a life she wanted to forget. She needs to get off Tortuga and start a new chapter in her life, not take a step back. People - including her family - thought she was dead, and she wants to keep it that way. But Captain Donovan is her only way off the island, with the plan to pillage and plunder a wealthy tradesman's estate. He offers her a way off Tortuga in exchange for her services - he needs a woman to pose as his bride as a means to garner trust and ward off suspicion. There's one snag in their plan, however - the wealthy tradesman is Belle's father. If anyone finds out Donovan is THE Captain Aaron Donovan, bloodthirsty pirate and wanted for his multiple crimes against the Crown, he'll be hung on the gallows - a warning for all other pirate captains. If Belle is recognized, the last several years of trying to escape a haunting past will be for nothing. Whether they like it or not, they need each other or everything will be ruined.

The last thing Isabelle Daniels expects to find in her living room is a pirate from the Eighteenth Century. Her intention was to surprise her boyfriend of 3 years by arriving home early after a week of visiting family, and seducing him for a night of intimate reacquaintance. Unfortunately for her, she is the one surprised; not only is there a handsome pirate in her living room, her boyfriend arrives at their apartment with a female guest from the more-than-a-little-friendly persuasion. To top it all off, throughout the exchange, Izzy is in nothing but pink underwear. Now, Izzy has to figure out not only why the pirate was sent to her specifically (and why he won't seem to leave her alone), but what direction to take her life after her college graduation as a single, young adult with the world at her feet. Everything happens for a reason, and Izzy will learn that sometimes, moving forward with her life may require a trip to the past, and even disasters can be beautiful.

Zelda Kelly needs a change. Being a taxi dancer in nineteen thirty-two isn't all it's cracked up to be. Dancing with men for dimes made her feet ache and her smile stiffer than the illegal drinks Al serves at the bar. Until he walks in. Jimmy Lawrence is gorgeous, charming, and romantic, everything her abusive boyfriend is not. When he sweeps her off her feet and rescues her from Name, Zelda can't help but fall a little bit in love with him. But there are secrets about Jimmy, dark secrets that start to come out. People recognize him on the streets. The police want him. The new Bureau of Investigation wants him. And Zelda wants him too. However, Zelda must decide if he's worth risking everything for - especially since Jimmy Lawrence isn't even his real name... Loosely based on the true story of John Dillinger.

Waking up in bed with a stranger is not Isla's typical night out, even with a couple of drinks and a girls' night with her friends. Especially considering that stranger claims to be a pirate from the Eighteenth Century and she's in nothing but her starkies. Isla Barnes hates love, marriage, and commitment. As a Millennial in her twenties, she's focused on starting her criminal journalism career, finally living on her own in an expensive apartment in Los Angeles, and having fun with cute guys. After a bachelorette party with her closest friends, she wakes up in nothing but her party dress to an unfamiliar bedroom next to a man claiming to be a pirate from the Eighteenth Century. While she attempts to figure out where she is and why she's here with him, her new companion, Captain Matt Scott of the Crimson Wave, is on a mission to rescue his sister from the hangman's noose. Isla decides to tag along because he offers her free passage and she finds she feels safe with him - which is odd, considering the only man she trusts is her father. This new adventure is completely unexpected, mind-blowing, and seemingly impossible, but Isla will learn that survival is easier with friends, magic is real, and love isn't as bad as she once thought it was.

Giselle Taylor is not a cow. Yet, her parents plan to ship her off to a man who expects to breed with her like she is one. There's only one thing left to do: take her destiny into her own hands. Perhaps she can't control her impending marriage, but she can control the state of herself when she does get married. Enter Captain Jack Downey. He buys her a drink at a seedy scrag and that's all it takes. One night of passion and Giselle is ready to get married. But not to Jack Downey. A year later, as the wedding date looms closer, Giselle receives news her grandfather died. Since law dictates he can't leave her an inheritance, he sends her on an adventure. The problem? Giselle can't decipher the maps and needs a ship to leave. But Jack Downey may. The problem? He's in prison and if Giselle doesn't figure out a way to spring him free, he will hang.

She wanted a stable life, a good marriage, and a family. He stole her away to the sea. Elinor is a woman of means, who is looking forward to her arranged marriage. As the eldest of three sisters, she wants to show her siblings that love, while ideal, doesn't need to be the main component to a successful marriage. Duty to the family is more important than duty to one's self. Her best friend, Samantha, doesn't quite agree, but Sam has always been ideal and never particularly cared about making a smart match for herself. Jaime Butler is a Scottish privateer, sailing the Seven Seas for treasure and freedom. When he gets word that his long lost sister is in the Caribbean, he rushes to obtain her and bring her back to his home in Scotland. He doesn't think he would need to take her friend as well, an obnoxious English woman who wants everything done perfectly. At least he might be able to get a good ransom out of her - not that he needs it. He's wealthy in his own right and only takes on the role of privateer because he wants the excuse to sail the seven seas, taking what he wants for the English king (the bastard). When forces collide, bringing these two opposites together, both will learn that love is more than they originally thought it would be.
