With danger mounting, the time for Hawk to relinquish his prize looms. As a pirate's prisoner, he is finally free to be his true self. He sees the lonely man beneath the myth, willingly surrendering to his captor body and soul. Nathaniel realizes the fearsome Sea Hawk's reputation is largely invented. What's the harm in satisfaction? Hawk would never feel anything for him. The desire to teach Nathaniel the pleasure men can share grows uncontrollable.

Yet as days pass in close quarters, Nathaniel's feisty spirit and alluring innocence beguile and bewitch. He has a score to settle with his captive's father-the very man whose treachery forced him into piracy-and he's sure Nathaniel is just as contemptible. Bitter and jaded, Hawk harbors futile dreams of leaving the sea for a quiet life. Until pirates strike and he's kidnapped for ransom by the Sea Hawk, a legendary villain of the New World. Under the thumb of his controlling father, he's sailing to the fledgling colony of Primrose Isle, where he'll surrender to a respectable marriage for his family's financial gain. Will an innocent captive surrender to this pirate's sinful touch? Nathaniel Bainbridge is used to hiding, whether it's concealing his struggles with reading or his forbidden desire for men.
