A historical romance in which a new bride leads a double life as a smuggling captain on the Yorkshire coast. Marriage of convenience, high-seas adventure and divided loyalties power this Regency romantic suspense.
She married for duty. She smuggles for freedom.
Lady Arabella has a secret. Posing as Captain Ara, a fearless smuggling captain, running contraband along the wild Yorkshire coast, her heroic exploits at sea have earned her the respect of her crew and other captains alike. But when she accepts an arranged marriage to a wealthy Earl to save her beleaguered estate, Arabella must balance her smuggling persona with her role of demure young bride.
Theo, Earl of Pembroke, believes he's found an ideal wife in beautiful and gentile Lady Arabella. He soon realizes he got more than he bargained for in this marriage. As his passion for the ferociously independent Arabella grows, so does his suspicion all isn't as it seems with his new bride.
As Arabella struggles to relinquish her powerful life on the sea for her new role as Countess of Pembroke, a dangerous threat to the smuggling community arises. Her loyalties are divided. Theo and Arabella are battle both a renegade revenue Captain with his conspirators, and the secrets and ambitions driving a wedge between them.
Together they face a storm of danger and intrigue in search of a safe harbor where their love can flourish.
