A poisoner. A pirate. The marriage they never wanted. And the dangerous quest they must complete.
Elayna Velore hates the idea of a husband. But when her mother tries to force one on her, she marries a pirate instead. One who owes her his life and leaves her alone, just the way she likes it.
Three years later, Elayna is busily curing women of their nasty husbands when one of those jobs lands her on a pirate lord’s kill list. Which brings her own husband, Captain Crimson Dyre, back to her doorstep with his smoldering smile… and a deal.
She must board his ship and help him hunt for a treasure that will free them both from the pirate lord.
But neither of them want this marriage—or to share a bed and a strange magical bond that grows stronger with each danger they face.
As they realize there is more to this treasure hunt than they thought, they risk losing their ship, their crew, and each other.
For here on the treacherous waters of Eloren Isles, every debt must be paid.
