Sebastian Kennett is a self-made man—passionate, adventurous, and powerful; a master trader and international shipper; a man who'll risk everything for a profit.
Jess Whitby grew up on the mean streets of the East End. Her father's a fine rogue and sometime smuggler. His canny trading and her brilliant management have built them a fortune.
Then one of Sebastian's ships goes down and a traitor is to blame. All the Whitbys' money won't protect Jess's father from an accusation of treason.
What happens when they fall in love—the man hungry for vengeance and the woman who's going to save her father at all costs?

"It is tiring to read so often in the romances how important for a man it is to have lots of "experience" to be a good candidate for love. Even worse when a female must be experienced as well. Nothing about loving and respecting each other and learning together how to make each other happy. Story itself, pretty good."
