Tides of Gold

Tides of Gold

An Epic Pirate Romance

She was sailing toward a marriage she despised. She never expected to be saved by the sea itself.

Seraphina Vane is clever, sharp-tongued, and utterly powerless — shipped across the Atlantic by her debt-ridden father to marry a man she's never met. But when a storm and a black-hulled pirate ship collide with her fate, everything changes.

Callum Ashford — once a lieutenant of His Majesty's Navy, now the golden-haired captain of The Golden Tempest — didn't plan for a passenger like her. His plan was simple: ransom, profit, move on. Seraphina, however, has never been simple a day in her life.

Stranded between the life she was forced into and the unknown one ahead, Seraphina finds herself learning to navigate more than rigging and sea charts. Ashford is not the brutal pirate of penny broadsides — he's a man who burned a slave ship in defiance of his admiral, who commands a crew the world cast aside, and who watches her with eyes the colour of deep water and says far too little about far too much.

The sea is full of dangers. The law is closing in. And somewhere between stolen conversations at the bow rail and a crow's nest high above the Caribbean, the ransom stops being the most complicated thing between them.

Tides of Gold is a sweeping historical romance of captivity, courage, and two people who find in each other the first honest thing either has known — aboard a ship the world has no name for, on a sea with no law but its own.

Perfect for fans of Pirates of the Caribbean, Naomi Novik's seafaring adventures, and slow-burn historical romance with a heroine who refuses to be anyone's cargo.
