**DUE TO BE PUBLISHED DECEMBER 2014** Meet Henry Sharpe – a bankrupt English lord who travels to the Caribbean to help his uncle run his sugar plantation. When he arrives, he finds his uncle has given up on that idea to lead a more exciting life as a pirate. With no money and no prospects, Sharpe has little choice but to join him, although he is uncomfortable with the life he is living. He is more likely to rescue the doomed souls he meets than terrorise them, which leads to repeated conflict with his fellow pirates, until he finds himself on the crew of Leo and Gabriella Santiago. However, conflict does not leave him alone, and his actions lead to one terrible confrontation after another. Can he escape, not only with his life, but with the woman he loves?
