An unlikely alliance may be the key to the ultimate prize...
Captain Henry Guffald is no ordinary sea captain. As a member of Nelson's Tea, he regularly takes on dangerous missions under the guise of a British naval officer in an effort to stop Napoleon's reign of terror, domestically and abroad. And this time, he's been ordered to sail to Spain and rescue a comrade who was captured by one of Napoleon's strongest allies. Not only does his friend's life hang in the balance but he is carrying crucial intel that cannot fall into enemy hands. Failing is not an option, and after a recently botched mission, it's also Henry's last chance to prove himself to Admiral Nelson. But succeeding is not such an easy task, especially when his plan is foiled by a beautiful female pirate.
Lady Adele Seaton would no sooner give up the sea's call to rove than sit at home like a proper woman of the ton. So when news arrives that her brother has been imprisoned in Spain, she quickly develops a strategy to rescue him and sets sail to intercept the first Royal Navy ship she encounters. Ready to put her plan in motion, Adele is a brilliant tactician, but not everything can be predicted. She certainly doesn't expect to meet her match in a navy captain determined to outwit her at every turn.
Now, Henry and Adele must join forces to save her brother and keep the secrets of the Crown just that—secret. But sparks fly between more than just their swords, and their passion might very well be their undoing.
