by Christi Caldwell (Author)

From USA Today bestselling author Christi Caldwell comes a dark tale of betrayal, jealousy, and the dangerous passion ignited between a vengeful captain and the young woman who loves him.

Miss Linnie McQuoid Smith has spent a lifetime dreaming of love, but the man she's always longed for is no longer the one she remembers. Captain Jeremy Tremaine, once a devoted family friend, is now consumed by vengeance, his heart hardened by betrayal at sea.

Lord Culross, on the other hand, offers Linnie the kind of future she ought to want. Yet his quiet devotion and steadfast affection pale in comparison to the intoxicating and undeniable pull she feels toward Tremaine.

But Tremaine's thirst for power threatens to eclipse their desire for one another, and the demons he carries may destroy them both. As shadows close in, Linnie must decide: the safe path of a love freely given, or the reckless passion that could cost her everything.
