Dark Before the Rising Sun

After sailing to the West Indies and discovering fabulous riches, Lady Rhea Claire and her marquis-turned-pirate husband, Dante Leighton, return to England. Rhea longs to be reunited with her family. Dante, however, doesn’t expect a warm welcome from Rhea’s father, the powerful Duke of Camareigh. Dante married Rhea when she was only a seventeen-year-old refugee-not the ideal situation in the eyes of the father of the bride. But the disapproval of Rhea’s father is nothing compared to the battle Dante is expecting in his own home. Because of his conversion to piracy, his ancestral home was left unarmed. Now that he’s back in England, he aims to reclaim what is rightfully his. But this task may not be as easy as it seems… The murderous smugglers who despoiled it are now after him. With an angry father and dangerous criminals in tow, can Dante and Rhea’s love persevere?
