Cat Rose knows what it is to live in two worlds, in two times. Before--as Lady Catrine Rose of the Meridian Empire, chained to a loathsome lord with a dwindling fortune. And after--as the Widow Rose, queen of a pirate tavern in the Lyrian Sea, determined to be the master of her own fate. But tides turn and winds change. The Meridian Empire looms on the horizon, the full weight of her navy falling on the Lyrian, bent on reclaiming the wealthy colonies and crushing the pirate republic once and for all. Ship after ship is captured, save for one, captained by a pirate who continually evades both noose and blade: the legendary Valerian Kane. With his fearsome ship and uncanny connection to the song of the sea, Valerian is the only man who might rally the pirates who remain. The only man who threatens the Empire. And the only man Cat has ever loved, blazing in and out of her life like a star. Desperate for victory, the Empire offers Cat a devastating choice: bring them Valerian or hang. In truth, no choice at all. But Cat Rose is nothing if not a survivor. A storm is rising on the Lyrian. What will it leave in its wake? |

The outcast royal is rebuilding his reputation, but he can't resist a pretty face. And bossy whirlwind Cherry has no idea who he really is. When paparazzi catch the pair kissing in an alleyway, Ruben's anonymity disappears. Now the press is in uproar, the palace is outraged, and Ruben's reputation is back in the gutter. There's only one way to turn this disaster around, and it involves Cherry, some big fat lies, and a flashy diamond ring.
