A mercenary with a vendetta. A baroness with a secret.

Both are marooned on a desert island. .

. Konrad has always lived his life by the book, but now he's out for vengeance.

Unfortunately, that means abducting the daughter of his enemy. Even more unfortunate, that woman is the most infuriating creature he's ever crossed paths with.

Who kisses someone during their first encounter anyway?Valda has always lived a sheltered life, but now she's out to prove herself. Unfortunately, she doesn't get very far before she finds herself trapped on a pirate ship against her will along with a grouchy werewolf and his adopted daughter.

Who abducts someone on their first outing anyway?When what should have been a straightforward ransom goes wrong, Konrad and Valda have to rely on each other to survive. If only that didn't mean they had to stay so close.

It would hardly be proper for Konrad to fall for the woman he dragged into this mess, no matter how much she bats her eyes. Especially since Valda has her own secrets to hide, far darker than anything her villain could ever imagine.
