The Hawk and the Dove When fiery Sara reinvents herself as the seductive Sabre Wilde, she arrives at Queen Elizabeth's court determined to ensnare the one man who unknowingly married her by proxy—the commanding Captain Shane Hawkhurst, the Queen's own Sea God. What neither of them expects is the explosive passion that ignites between them, a chemistry so potent it threatens to upend all of Sabre's carefully laid plans for revenge. As Shane finds himself utterly captivated by this mysterious, flame-haired beauty, and Sabre discovers that her new husband might be more than just a conquest, both must grapple with whether they can trust each other enough to surrender to love. It's a delicious game of seduction set against the glittering danger of Elizabeth's court, where nothing is quite what it seems and the greatest victory might be falling completely, irrevocably in love.
