According to society, I, Elise Sutton, haven't been a lady for quite some time--a lady couldn't possibly run the family company and spend her days on London's crowded, tar-stained docks. And she most certainly wouldn't associate herself with the infamous Dorian Rowland--privateer, smuggler and scouge of Gibraltar himself! But I need Rowland and his specialized expertise--especially with the wolves circling, waiting for me to fail. I yearn to feel alive, and Rowland, who can kiss like the devil, inflames my senses and makes me dare to break free.
Elise Sutton is a woman fighting the Victorian assumptions that she can't be the owner of a business and in particular that she can't be a yacht designer. She desperately needs to finish her father's last yacht to keep the business afloat (yes I went there). Her brother introduces her to Dorian Rowland, a man on the edges of society, who has done some shady things in his past, and between them they start to fight the prejudice and the forces amassed against them.
