    Summary

    Somewhere in the Caribbean Sea, a merchant ship is attacked by the Lady Death, a pirate ship commanded by the formidable, well-known and feared Captain Rio Vidal. The crew is quickly tied up and interrogated, including a young woman who introduces herself as Agnes. But she seems a little too elegant in her appearance, her clothes too neat, her hands too delicate, and when another prisoner reveals Agnes’s real name, her lie is exposed.

    Agatha Harkness, the only daughter of the powerful Governor Harkness, is unmasked. She has run away from her strict mother, who wants to marry her off to a rich man, and boarded the first ship that agreed to take her with them without asking questions.

    Seeing this as an opportunity to demand a large ransom from her mother, the captain decided to keep her alive rather than throw her overboard. But what he hadn’t anticipated was becoming so attached to her and to her presence on his ship; and as for Agatha, who was supposed to be treated as a prisoner, she hadn’t expected to feel freer on this ship than she had ever been in her entire life.

    And as the days went by, the thought that Agatha might one day return home, was becoming increasingly unbearable for both of them.
