BOOK DESCRIPTION:
James Harrock is a pirate captain – mostly by accident. All he knows is that a life at sea is better than a life forgotten in the back alleys of London. But he’s willing to do whatever it takes to keep his life of rum, hammock naps, and crew in one piece. If that means battling the stubborn lass Tamara Quimby along the way for his claim of gold, then so be it.
Tamara Quimby is the fiercest pirate captain of her generation. Daughter of the infamous Sea Slayer, she takes no prisoners and shows no mercy in the name of her devotion to the ocean. Not even that idiot slacker James Harrock can get in Tamara’s way of claiming her legacy upon the seven seas.
When these two pirates target the same ship and earn a shared bounty calling for both of their heads, the rival captains must work together to seek the lost treasure of the Heart of the Sea and clear their names. To save their lives, Harrock & Quimby must survive mythical sea monsters, an evil Baron, and each other, to discover the true treasures in life are worth more than gold.
They just need to make sure they don’t stab each other first.
