Official Synopsis Coming Soon

Giles Fitz-Stephens, an explorer and entrepreneur, has set sail on an expedition. What began as an adventure in discovery turns mutinous when the crew learn of the captain’s treachery. Giles saves the man’s life. In gratitude, the captain promises his sister’s hand in marriage. A life for a life. Giles’s explanation of a noble deed translates to ignoble trickery when he attempts to collect his bride.

Rosemary Parker depends on her brother, although most days, she considers dependency a euphemism for captivity. When a stranger arrives on the doorstep with claims to her hand, she’s one part intrigued and three parts incensed. Romy has no intentions of marrying this man, but if she can convince him otherwise, she will have the chance to escape both her brother’s dominion and the sham betrothal.
