Runaway Bride + Pirate Lord + Enchanted Locket = Romance and Adventure on the High Seas Lady Beatrix Wrenwood has lived a sheltered life in Cornwall, but that is about to change. On the eve of her forced wedding to a man she cannot abide, she decides to run away and chase a family secret. She disguises herself as a boy and enlists on The Tempest, a ship bound for the West Indies. She can't cook or tie a proper knot, but she can mend sails and scrub the deck, or so she thinks. Captain August Drake has his own secrets. The French Revolution has given him the opportunity to legitimize his hijinks (or piracy, depending on who's asking) under the guise of privateering. He's recently come across a journal with a map that leads to the mystical island of Calverique, but it reads more like riddles than directions. When a cabin boy translates the inscription on the journal, Captain Drake begins to think something is very strange about the lad... It doesn't take long for Beatrix's disguise to unravel, kicking off a dangerous and passionate romance with the captain. Beatrix uses temptation to entice him to reveal what he knows about Calverique, but it doesn't take long for her to realize that she is in fact tempted by the man who broods about the ship and insists she come to his cabin every night. As their passion blazes, August's brother, the villainous Ambrose Drake, pursues them across the Atlantic. He, too, is after Calverique's treasures, and he will stop at nothing to possess them. Secrets, danger, and romance await all who dare pursue Calverique. Who will get there first? Who will live to tell about it?
