After a narrow escape from disaster’s cold grip, the battered crew of Sneaky Lass have paid a hefty price, one that weighs on them fiercely. None more than Bennett Holt.

Flying no colors and desperate for crew, Sneaky Lass is a damaged brig in no position to look too closely at any volunteers, no matter how ill-suited to sea life they may be. After a series of decisions Jane can’t turn back from, she commits one final act of desperation....

Jane’s future, the desperate dreams she’s locked in her heart for so long, rest on faraway shores, but being ashore comes with its own challenges; ones that force Jane and Bennett to change their identities, yet again. But, in a life of piracy, grudges are often long-held and blood-tainted.

Life on the sea is never easy, but hope for something smoother grows dim for Sneaky Lass captain Bennett Holt, when bounty hunters sell him to the Imperial Navy. There is no peace to be found shackled in the bowels of a warship with only the looming shadow of the gallows for company.

Regaining his footing as a captain, Bennett Holt finds stepping into Jane Ables’ boots as leader of the battered schooner, Ferocious Pip, is easier than recovering his place as her lover.

Michael Mason, surgeon for the enemy ship Three Queens, faces an uphill battle as he holds the precariously balanced life of Sneaky Lass captain, Bennett Holt, in his hands.

Her ruse uncovered, Jane finds herself in exile from the home and family she found aboard Sneaky Lass. What little money she had now gone, Jane’s options are to find a livelihood or starve.
