About this book

Bennett Sharp is a fearless pirate on the run, but her world ignites when two men collide in her orbit: Priest Farrell, the stormy libertine who hunts her with dangerous obsession, and Lord Ashley Cutler, the ice-cold pirate hunter who captures her body and tests her resolve. Caught between a man who's already shattered her trust and one who represents everything she should resist, Bennett finds herself drawn into a thrilling power struggle where passion, secrets, and fierce desire blur every boundary. As Priest and Ashley battle for dominance—and for her—the lines between captor and lover, enemy and beloved, grow deliciously tangled. This is dark, intense romance for readers who crave morally complex characters and the kind of heat that consumes everything in its path.

Dark, sensual indie and alternative with gothic undertones. Haunting vocals over brooding instrumentals. Mix moody synth-pop, sultry R&B, and intense rock. Capture obsessive desire, dangerous tension, and the intoxicating pull between forbidden attraction and chaos. Heavy, passionate, unapologetic.
