Epic adventure romance with tension and yearning more than explicit heat.

The vibe

Cat Rose has lived two lives—two worlds, two times. Before, she was Lady Catrine Rose of the Meridian Empire, chained to a loathsome lord and a dwindling fortune. After, she’s the Widow Rose, queen of a pirate tavern in the Lyrian Sea, determined to be the master of her own fate.
But the sea never stays calm for long. The Meridian Empire closes in, its navy bent on reclaiming wealthy colonies and crushing the pirate republic once and for all. Ship after ship is taken—except one, captained by the pirate who keeps slipping the noose: the legendary Valerian Kane.
With a fearsome ship and an uncanny connection to the song of the sea, Valerian may be the only man who can rally what’s left of the pirates… the only man who truly threatens the Empire… and the only man Cat has ever loved, blazing in and out of her life like a star.
Cornered and desperate for victory, the Empire gives Cat a devastating ultimatum: bring them Valerian… or hang. It’s no choice at all—until you remember that Cat Rose is nothing if not a survivor. And as a storm rises over the Lyrian Sea, she’ll decide what she’s willing to sacrifice… and what she’ll burn down to stay free.
