Tides of Passion - (Secrets of the Seas) by Lauren Everly (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Hunted by a pirate. Bound by circumstance. Drawn to each other against reason.

Society darling Abigail Ross has everything: wealth, beauty, and a future carefully planned. That is, until the notorious Captain Thorne forces her into hiding in New Orleans with a reclusive widower who wants nothing to do with her. She's told it's the safest place for her, and she's inclined to agree-no pirate would think to look for her in the middle of a swamp.

Since his wife died, Lucien Moreau has turned his back on the world. Whispers follow him wherever he goes, branding him a madman. A murderer. He's long since stopped caring, so long as he's left alone with his ghosts. But the bright, headstrong socialite he's forced to protect begins to unravel his carefully guarded solitude.

When Thorne strikes again, Abigail finds herself in the middle of a dangerous pirate hunt. As secrets about her father's involvement in a government plot are revealed, she faces a choice: stand with family and keep her gilded life or walk away and lose it all.

The race is on to find those guilty as the line between survival and surrender begins to blur. And the undeniable pull between Abigail and Lucien becomes harder to deny-until resisting each other feels far more dangerous than any pirate on the horizon.
