Headstrong, reckless, and utterly unsuited for the stodgy House of Lords, Kit has spent years dodging his father's stern disapproval and delighting in clandestine rendezvous. But time is running out. With an arranged marriage looming and the confines of white wigs and stiff decorum closing in, Kit is desperate to escape a life that feels completely wrong for him. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHis solution? A wildly impulsive decision that lands him aboard the \n\u003ci\u003eDeliverance\u003c\/i\u003e, a galleon captained by the infuriatingly charismatic Reggie Sharpe. With a devil-may-care attitude and a delicious grin, Captain Sharpe commands the waves with his crew of misfits...who all turn out to be pirates. Before Kit can say \"wrong ship,\" he's trading ballroom etiquette for rum-soaked camaraderie, explosive gunfights, and, perhaps most excitingly, heart-stopping kisses under the stars. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut life at sea holds just as many secrets as treasures.
