Julianne doesn't want to get married.
She certainly doesn't want to marry someone as terrible as Vince Fiddick. The other villagers might believe that his previous wives went missing, but Julianne knows the truth. Fearing for her life, she seeks refuge on the nearest pirate ship: The Dark Lovely.
The pirate captain of the ship is tall, dark, and handsome. 
He's everything she's dreamed of in a man.
He also has no tolerance for stowaways.
When his life is threatened, however, Julianne has to make a choice.
Will she play it safe?
Or will she risk everything to save the Saucy Devil?
