About the book
From USA Today bestselling author Christi Caldwell comes a dark tale of betrayal, jealousy, and the dangerous passion ignited between a vengeful captain and the young woman who loves him.
Miss Linnie McQuoid Smith has spent her whole life dreaming of love, but the man she has always desired is no longer the same person she remembers. Captain Jeremy Tremaine, who was once a loyal family friend, is now consumed by a desire for revenge, his heart cold and hardened by betrayal at sea.
On the other hand, Lord Culross offers Linnie the kind of future that she should desire. However, his quiet devotion and unwavering affection pale in comparison to the irresistible pull she feels towards Tremaine.
But Tremaine's hunger for power threatens to overshadow their love for each other, and the demons he carries within him may bring about their downfall. As darkness draws near, Linnie must make a decision: whether to choose the safe path of a freely given love, or the passionate recklessness that could result in losing everything.
