Lisette Lavigne will do anything to protect her brother from the man who wants to steal his inheritance and lock him away in an asylum—even pretending to be a widow and making vague promises to the roguish captain of the only ship sailing to England. What’s one little white lie between strangers? But soon she realizes the one person she cannot lie to is herself. The captain is so much more than she anticipated, and she’s in danger of losing her heart to a man who will never love her in return. His rules aren't meant to be broken... Captain Daniel Hillary has one ironclad rule: no ladies on his ship. So when the Widow Lavigne approaches him in a tavern full of thieves, brandishing her coin like she wants to be robbed, his answer is an unequivocal no. Fortunately for her, he has nothing better to do than rescue her from two bumbling buffoons. In a moment of weakness and sympathy for her plight, he grants her and her family passage to England. But as danger closes in, Daniel must confront a truth he didn’t see coming—the woman he’s protecting might just be the only one who can save him.
