Bored by society’s rules and strictures, Kathryn ‘Kit’ Cranmer yearns for adventure - and she finds it on Britain’s rugged eastern coast, dressed as a boy at the head of a rag-tag band of smugglers. But there is another who rules the night: the notorious Captain Jack, the ruthless leader of a rival gang who will allow no tresspassers…and who stops Kit’s breath with his handsome, etched features and powerful physique.

In no time, Captain Jack sees though Kit’s brazen disguise - and tempts her with kisses that compel the beautiful adventuress to surrender her cherished independence for nights of incomparable bliss. But her lover is much more than he seems - a man of secrets and dangerous mystery - and becoming Captain Jack’s woman will carry Kit into a world of sensuous pleasures and unparalleled perils…and to new heights of excitement beyond anything she’s ever dreamed.
