Torn from the life she thought she wanted
When black sails appear on the horizon, bookish Katherine finds herself first threatened, then saved by Captain Mullen and his band of pirates. Shy and nervous around men, with a thirst for knowledge that her suitors find “improper,” she knows she's no one's fantasy. So why does the gorgeous pirate captain keep looking at her that way?

Tempted by the life he can't have
Robert Mullen thought he'd closed his heart and lashed down his feelings when he led his ex-navy crew into piracy. But as soon as Katherine comes aboard, he starts to wonder if he has one last shot at happiness. A life, a home, a family…she could give him everything he wants. But she's from a completely different world.

She wants him. He needs her. But if he's going to possess her completely, he wants more than just her body. He wants her to bear his child.
