Surrender of a Siren (Electronic book text)

New author Tessa Dare takes passion to the high seas in this steamy tale of a runaway bride and a devilishly disarming privateer.
Desperate to escape a loveless marriage and society s constraints, pampered heiress Sophia Hathaway jilts her groom, packs up her paints and sketchbook, and assumes a new identity, posing as a governess to secure passage on the Aphrodite. She wants a life of her own: unsheltered, unconventional, uninhibited. But it s one thing to sketch her most wanton fantasies, and quite another to face the dangerously handsome libertine who would steal both her virtue and her gold.
To any well-bred lady, Benedict Gray Grayson is trouble in snug-fitting boots. A conscienceless scoundrel who sails the seas for pleasure and profit, Gray lives for conquest until Sophia s perception and artistry stir his heart. Suddenly he ll brave sharks, fire, storm, and sea just to keep her at his side. She s beautiful, refined, and ripe for seduction. Could this counterfeit governess be a rogue s redemption? Or will the runaway heiress s secrets destroy their only chance at love?
