Is a forbidden attraction strong enough to ride out the storm?

The English Lord:

Lord Gar Blackmore is the eldest of the cousins and still not married. As a child he was raised by pirates and even though he sails ships for the king, he is aware of the whispers that go on behind his back. Getting the chance to sail the ship of his dreams, he eagerly accepts the job of captaining an overseas merchant trade ship. At first, Gar doesn't know that the owner of the ship has passed away and that his business is being run by his attractive but bossy widow. Worse yet, the woman plans to sail with him! Everyone knows a woman on board is bad luck. And what Gar is about to experience is anything but a calm sea.

The Widow:

Josefina Waterman is a widow from a loveless marriage. Since her late husband was a guildmember, it is her right to carry on the business for him. As an overseas trade merchant, she needs to hire a captain who can handle her large ship as well as the North Sea. The nobleman she's hired is said to be the best, but she finds him arrogant and rude! He's less than happy that she will be joining him on the journey. But every man has his weakness, and once they start working out their differences, they are noticing each other more than they should.

Sometimes opposites attract in ways never expected. When dreams suddenly turn to nightmares on the high seas, will Gar and Josefina's attraction to each other be strong enough to ride out the storm?

Love has no bounds but marriage has rules. A noble must never marry anyone from below the salt. (This series features the next generation from Elizabeth's Legacy of the Blade Series.)
