Summary
“I want to know why you do it.”
“Why I do what.” he asked stripping off his overcoat.
“Why you always save me. Every time I’m in trouble you always come to my rescue.” I blushed as he kept undoing buttons.
“Should I not?”
“I don’t mean to sound ungrateful I just want to know why.”
I was unable to take my eyes away from him as he peeled his shirt off himself. Realizing I was staring, I blinked a couple of times and cleared my throat before looking up again. His dark eyes were already looking at me.
“You’re important to them.”
“What about you?”
He stood there with his back turned to me. Minutes passed, feeling like hours before he turned, casting his beautifully dark gaze on me. Our eyes never wavered from each other. His heavy bootsteps echoed in the silent room as he stalked towards me. He didn’t stop until he stood toe to toe with me. He leaned down, pressing his forehead to mine as he closed his eyes. His hand traveled to my hair threading his fingers through the strands before releasing a heavy sigh and opening his eyes, scorching me with the fire behind them.

Summary
Stories of Captain Hongjoong and his crew of misfits have been circling the Aithelon kingdom for years - stories of violence, mischief, thievery, destruction - inciting fear, or sometimes curiosity, within the citizens.
Twenty-four year old Ari Rothchester is part of the latter group, intrigued by the adventures Hongjoong and his crew embark on, wishing wholeheartedly she had that kind of freedom.
Instead, she is betrothed to an older man as the final act of her parents hiding her very existence. But when her soon-to-be husband sets his sights on her younger sister, Evelyn, Ari unleashes magic she has kept hidden most of her life.
Now deemed a dangerous enemy to the crown, Ari escapes the confines of the castle walls and runs directly into the notorious pirate captain's path. Quickly, Ari will learn if she was right to be intrigued by this band of pirates or if she should have learned to fear them instead.
