Emma Ross has longed for freedom from the palace she’d been confined to since she was born. And she thought that freedom came as Duke Maxwell of Risenmoore, a guest in Korgan Palace. But when she stumbles upon a rookie pirate captain who offers her a life filled with adventure, all her well-made plans crumble at his feet.

 

Keiran Flanagan always wanted to live life on the sea, a life away from the simple farm his father wanted him to inherit. To get his small crew off the docks, he decides to go into piracy. But his life of treachery upon the seas is stalled when he meets a young noblewoman who is waiting to be swept away from home.

 

In this prequel to I Pledge My Loyalty, Emma and Keiran’s stories intertwine in the most unlikely of ways. But destiny has a way of bringing people together who otherwise should never have met, doesn’t it?
