When a desperate young woman flees London's brutal streets and finds herself in the arms of a commanding sea captain, she's thrust into a world of danger, desire, and the unexpected possibility of love. Brandon Birmingham is ruthless and commanding—a man used to taking what he wants—but Heather discovers there's far more beneath his formidable exterior than she ever imagined. As he carries her away from everything she's known to distant, exotic lands, the line between captivity and choice begins to blur in the most delicious ways. This sweeping adventure will have you swooning over the intense chemistry and passionate connection that ignites between two people from completely different worlds.

“Create a playlist called The Flame and the Flower. A sweeping journey of desire and danger on the high seas—lush orchestral arrangements meet sultry vocals, classical strings intertwine with sensual indie and folk. Think Lana Del Rey's melancholy, Bon Iver's intensity, and sweeping cinematic soundtracks. Yearning, passionate, and undeniably romantic.”
