Once, Cain sailed with the cutthroats of The Flying Gang,
fearless Captain of The Kraken, bound to no one save the sea. After inheriting
a portion of Spain’s Royal Inheritance, he resigned the life of brigands for a
chance at honest wealth. With the secrets of his piracy tucked away, he
achieved his lofty aspirations. But when his partner and best friend betrays
him to the Royal Navy, Cain’s dreams are ripped to shreds. He’s left with his
ship, the tattered remnants of a stolen future, and a piece of Spanish mystery.
Wanted by three nations and destined for the gallows, he returns to the
legendary band of buccaneers for one purpose---vengeance.
Kidnapped by the formidable Cain, India Prescott discovers
he intends to kill the man she’s to marry, Richard Grey. Cain’s story reveals
betrayal. Treachery that extends to her as well. Although she holds the key to
retribution, India refuses to become another man’s pawn. Freedom lies before
her, the liberty to shrug off propriety, make her own decisions, and claim her
destiny. But when she uncovers goodness in Cain’s soul and he awakens passion
in her heart, she must combat the chains of convention once more.
Only this time India's not fighting society. She’s battling
a pirate bent on keeping her decency intact.
