"Run!" I screamed at her before whatever was on top of me pressed harder on my back, knocking the wind out of me. I could hear it snarling at everyone else as they stood from a distance and watched in horror. After what seemed like forever, the pressure on my back was released slowly. I could hear a low and terrifying growl next to my head. Gathering all the courage I had, I slowly started turning around. In the distance, where the warriors had stood, I saw the mangled bodies in a heap. Some of them still twitching. I turned completely to see what was on top of me. My blood froze when I came face to face with the biggest wolf that I had ever seen, who's face was drenched in blood. This monster leaned in close, looking at me like I'm sort of ant, and roared right at my face. I almost passed out from fright at the sight of the beast. 'Is this how I die?' I questioned as I shook fraily under the best. When our eyes met, something stood out and for some reason, I instantly knew who it was. It was Kieran Blackwood. The Exiled Alpha. *** When an Exiled Alpha crashes her wedding and takes Lilith hostage, she realized that he is her mate. Will she get married to the man she hates the most? Or, will she side with her Rogue Mate?

Morgan is just trying to survive her cousin’s destination wedding in Bermuda. She didn’t come prepared for emotional damage, and she certainly didn't expect the biggest drama of the weekend to involve a head injury, a blocked tunnel, and a very confusing run-in with three dudes dressed like they raided a Pirates of the Caribbean casting call. Turns out they’re not LARPing. They aren't actors. It's not a fun sunset cruise. No. They’re privateers. Like, real ones. From the actual year 1725. And Morgan? She’s stuck. She may have a pretty good handle on how to survive in the wilderness, thanks to her ex-Green Beret dad. But eighteenth-century ships, sexist crewmates, and suspicious captains aren’t exactly her area of expertise. Especially not Flynn, the broody, grumpy, maddeningly handsome Captain who might rather toss her overboard than deal with whatever disaster she’s brought onto his ship. But as danger closes in, from rival ships to secrets Morgan didn’t mean to bring with her, she’ll have to find her place in this brutal new world. That is… if she doesn’t drive Flynn to keelhauling her first. Or fall for him. Maybe both. Adventure, slow-burn tension, and fish-out-of-water chaos collide in this swoony, high-stakes romantic tale across time. For fans of enemies-to-lovers, pirate drama, and heroines who don’t know when to shut the fuck up.
