Waves of Desire: A Regency Historical Romance (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781969349607)

Two enemies bound by danger-and undone by desire.

Savannah socialite Samantha Warstein has finally been given the chance to earn her place within her family's secret pirating legacy. Her first obstacle as a captain? An ambitious-and annoyingly handsome-navy lieutenant tasked with destroying the pirate trade. And she's not sure which challenge appeals more: proving her worth or putting him in his place.

Having lost his parents to pirates, Lieutenant Christian Thompson takes his assignment seriously, determined to spend his life married only to the sea. But when a mysterious, red-headed beauty bests him in battle, the mission becomes personal. He'll see her brought to justice, no matter how her laughter haunts him... or how her courage stirs something he thought long buried.

When a notorious pirate kidnaps Samantha, her uncle hires Christian to track her down. Little does he know, the woman he's chasing and the woman he's rescuing are one and the same. Bound together by danger and deception, they must work together to take down the most ruthless man on the seas. But as treacherous waters and buried secrets close in, their greatest peril may be the desire neither can resist.

When the truth comes to light, Christian will have to choose between duty and desire-and Samantha must decide if her dreams are worth risking the hangman's noose.
