After freeing himself from his former slave masters, Riel becomes a pirate after striking a deal with the infamous Captain Glass. In exchange for learning English, how to sail, and how to be a fearsome pirate, Riel will give Captain Glass seventy percent of his bounty for five years.
Five years later, Captain Glass is unwilling to release Riel from his debt. Under threat of being resold as a slave, Riel feels trapped in a life he doesn't want.
Darlene Smith has always been a tomboy. She favors trousers and swords over dresses and knitting. Wanting her to act like the high class lady she was born to be, her father arranges a marriage between her and a wealthy Governor in the colonies.
However, this isn't the life she wants, but under threat of harm to her mentor, she reluctantly agrees to sail from England to America to a marriage she doesn't want.
Along the way, she is taken captive by Riel and the two realize that they have more in common than they thought. Darlene becomes a pirate, but falling for Riel wasn't part of the plan. Will this new love last? Note, this book was previously published on Kindle Vella.
