The Captain's Contraband: Ravenscar Romances
She has twelve hours to board a privateer brig, assume a false identity, and sail to the other side of the world. She has a cedar box, a plan, and a dead father who trusted her to finish what he started.
Cassia Halloway has been managing things correctly her entire life. She knows how to keep secrets, how to read a room, how to make bread in a Southern Ocean gale. What she has not planned for is the Mordecai, or the privateering captain who named his cat after his enemy and has been counting the evidence against her since the first morning she handed him his coffee.
Kit Carrick lost his naval commission fourteen years ago to a man named Sefton. He has been waiting ever since. He did not expect the waiting to end with a rear admiral's daughter in his galley, carrying the proof he needs in a cedar box and making increasingly excellent bread.
From the grey cold of Portsmouth harbour to the spice and heat of Batavia, through the Southern Ocean twice and a room above a St Helena harbour that smells of bougainvillea, Cassia and Kit are building something neither of them planned for, a case, a crew, and a careful, precise, inevitable accounting of everything that matters.
The Captain's Contraband is a slow-burn historical romance for readers who like their heroines competent, their heroes thoroughly complicated, and their love stories built on evidence.
