With part of a stolen treasure map in her possession and mercenaries hot on her trail, Vivian runs to the one person she knows will keep her safe. Captain Viktor. But when she arrives at his ship, it isn't her oldest friend commanding it, a new man has taken his place. Captain Simon Blackmore. Though reluctant to work with this impostor, his skills both as a pirate and an assassin are exactly what she needs to find this treasure... and stay ahead of the men who want their map back.
Half the treasure as payment for protecting the fiery courtesan convinces Simon to escort her and help uncover Captain Avery's lost loot. Danger nips at their heels every step of the way, and her obstinate personality makes the already monumental task even more difficult. But soon they are fighting for more than just staying alive... they are fighting the feelings for each other that are even more dangerous than the men hunting her down.
Can they work together to find the treasure that could change both their fates, or will they discover that the greatest treasure was there all along?
