He was meant to hang.

 

Amos Kent Carlton has lived by the sword and trusted no man—not even God. But when a last-minute reprieve spares him from the gallows and delivers him into bondage on a Caribbean plantation, he finds himself at the mercy of a woman as powerful as she is mysterious… and as dangerous as any enemy he’s ever faced.

​

Lady Alexandra Ashcombe has spent years building an empire—and walls around her heart. With wealth, influence, and control firmly in her grasp, she cannot afford weakness. Yet the arrival of a condemned pirate with defiance in his eyes and secrets in his past threatens everything she has carefully ordered.

​

When a legendary artifact known as the Ring of Solomon surfaces—an object whispered to hold power over storms… and time itself—both Amos and Alexandra are drawn into a deadly pursuit that spans sea and shore. With a relentless adversary closing in and betrayal lurking in the shadows, they must decide what they are willing to surrender.

​

Freedom. Power. Even their hearts.

Because some things can only be won… through sacrifice.
