All Molly wants is to spend her time in Ronan's arms, but when he's away at sea for months at a time, she can't help getting into trouble. Now she'll have to suffer the consequences at Ronan's hand—a punishment she's all too keen on. With him barely back a week, she's none too happy to hear he'll be leaving for another nine months away on the high seas. She's damned if she's going to sit idly by and wait for him, but he has his own plans for keeping his sweet lass out of trouble. Question is, who'll get their way? The pirate or the feisty maid?

\A Steamy Serial Romance—Part 3 (approx. 130 pages)\ Molly knows that stowing away on Bjorn’s ship is a perilous venture, but she must warn Ronan that Bjorn has plans that begin and end with Ronan’s demise. Dressed as a cabin boy, her days are fraught with danger as she tries to keep her identity a secret—and when William turns up on the ship, she has yet one more person to worry about. When a fight breaks out and William comes to her rescue, he’s not the only one who shows up, and it doesn’t take long for Bjorn to recognize her. Though Bjorn still loves her, he has every intention of using Molly’s precarious situation to his advantage, not only to get her back in his bed once more, but also to strike a bargain with his rival, Ronan. Yet not all is as it seems as emotions run high and past histories are uncovered as they each try to claim the feisty maid as their own. \Not suitable for readers under 18 years of age\
