Taken by the Sea

By Ashley Waltz

When Aria is ripped nearly 325 years into the past, she wakes not in a familiar world-but in the hold of a pirate ship cutting through unforgiving seas. Surrounded by ruthless sailors and a life ruled by steel and survival, she has no idea how she'll make it home.

What she doesn't expect... is Captain Rook.

Feared across the ocean, the captain commands his ship with iron will and ruthless precision. Legends say he's as dangerous as the storms he sails through-and twice as merciless. But the defiant woman suddenly in his custody refuses to bow, refuses to break... and begins to unravel something inside him he thought long buried.

Trapped together on a ship where loyalty is fragile and betrayal is currency, the tension between them burns hotter with every passing day.

But on waters ruled by blood, secrets, and revenge, desire can be just as deadly as the sea itself.

Will their growing passion survive the coming storm-
or will it drag them both beneath the waves?

A sweeping tale of treachery, time travel, and dangerous love on the high seas, perfect for fans of enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity, and morally gray pirate captains who hide devastating secrets.
