The pirate she has spent her career studying, Lorenzo Sosa, is alive, irresistible, and dangerously unpredictable.

In a world where swords clash as often as hearts, can Mira survive—and surrender to the pull she can’t resist?

Holly is dangerous, though: with her fiery red hair and her bubbly personality, she tempts Matt like no woman ever has. As the snowstorm rages outside, Matt and Holly share a night that neither will forget.
