Fortune's Flames

Maren James has dark hair and one goal: getting back to New Orleans. Her British vessel is already a slow ride, and it becomes slower still when word spreads that Captain Hawk, a pirate with a fearsome reputation, has come aboard to hunt for American sailors who were seized and forced into the Royal Navy. Maren is eager to see him gone. Then he walks into her cabin, and she finds herself unable to resist the pull between them, giving herself to him before she has time to weigh what it might cost.

Hawk's side of the story shows a man who has known plenty of women and assumed this one would be no different. Her kisses, however, seem innocent, and her body appears untouched. His mission is dangerous and leaves him no time to savor her company past that single night. Still, once his work is finished, he intends to keep her for himself, whether or not she agrees.
