Synopsis

She would sooner weather the storms at sea than face the tempest of her past.

Ysabella Fletcher fled England at sixteen when all she knew shattered to pieces. Seven years later, now a pirate known as The Fair Captain Ysa Marie, she finally has an opportunity to seek revenge on the man who ruined her life. But when a trap is sprung, she learns that her only chance of freedom lies in spying on a fellow pirate, a man who sells the vulnerable to brothels.

All Nyle Wingate has ever wanted to do is work on his plantation on St. Kitts. But everything flashes before his eyes when he finds himself in the sights of someone’s black heart. When the hour of vengeance that he waited for comes, can he overcome the desire for justice and show mercy?

Are they both worthy to be washed in the waves of redemption?
