Gabriel Vance left the Royal Navy in disgrace and was disowned by his Grandfather, a British admiral. He re-invented himself as Gabriel Hawkins and captained his own merchant ship.
Lady Aurora Lawrence is the youngest of eight and a wild child. She is using an inheritance to travel. When she is captured by pirates, she demands that the ransom include herself, her cousin/companion and the crew of the ship they were on. Her father can't raise a 50,000-pound ransom, so her mother steps in and hires Gabriel.
This was a sweeping romance that was a fast-paced read. I enjoyed that the book does not take place in the drawing rooms of London. It was a breath of fresh air. I liked that Rory was an adventuress and had helped a cousin that was wronged by their grandmother.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC provided by NetGalley and the publisher. Thank you!
