A privileged young noble and a wickedly handsome pirate captain cross swords and ships in this tale of romance on the high seas. Captain Blake is young, unproven and untested until the time the pirate known as King Terence spots him and gives chase. At first, Blake is overjoyed. At last he will have the opportunity to distinguish himself by sending ship full of pirates to the gallows. But when a series of unfortunate events conspire to put Blake in the hands of the pirate, a man he despises without knowing, a man he once wished dead, Blake learns that there is more to the pirate and his crew than meets the eye, and that moral choices might not be quite as simple as he once thought them to be. As a captive, Blake must choose between life and death, hate and love - and between the King of England and the Pirate King Terence. Additional notes: This is a novella length work and though it does contain some erotic scenes, it can be more strictly described as romantica.
