When nineteen-year-old Susanna leaves England to marry a wealthy French nobleman she's never met, she expects duty—not love—to shape her future. But her journey across the sea is violently interrupted by a pirate attack unlike any whispered about in taverns and ports.
Their captain is William. Beautiful. Immortal. Cursed.
A half-vampire who has spent centuries sailing the seas beneath the cover of darkness, William has long accepted that monsters do not deserve happiness... until one frightened young woman awakens something inside him he believed was lost forever.
