The Mediterranean's most exclusive waters hide her darkest secrets.
When privateer Captain Ash Rivers and his crew dock their new vessel in Monaco's exclusive harbor, they're looking forward to gambling, fine dining, and the kind of sophisticated pleasures that come with serious money and minimal clothing requirements.
Instead, they find themselves drawn into a desperate rescue mission when Spanish Countess Victoria Mendoza appears with a plea for help. Her family has been allies to the Rivers clan for over two centuries, but Victoria herself shares a complicated history with Ash's first mate Charlie-one that ended badly thirty years ago.
Now her niece Isabella has been kidnapped by Russian criminals demanding twenty million euros, and the authorities can't be trusted. As the crew of the Liberty Belle investigates Monaco's hedonistic underworld-from casino high-roller suites to Cap d'Agde's notorious naturist resort-they discover that the Riviera's glittering facade conceals a network of human trafficking that reaches from exclusive private parties to the darkest corners of Eastern Europe.
The Russians aren't just criminals-they're professionals with military training, a floating fortress disguised as a luxury yacht, and a gorgeous security team that doubles as adult entertainment.
Ash must navigate treacherous waters where family loyalty collides with justice, dangerous liaisons blur the lines between pleasure and peril, and a centuries-old alliance will be tested by fire. Armed with modern weaponry and ancient Letters of Marque, they're about to discover that some enemies are more dangerous than they appear, and some rescues come at a price no one wants to pay.
A explosive maritime thriller that combines authentic naval action with international intrigue, steamy encounters, and family secrets that span generations.
The age of privateering isn't over. It's just gotten a lot more interesting.Also from
