Finlay Thorne is a brooding, sharp-eyed pirate captain with a stormy past and a heart he pretends he doesn’t have. He sees everything, carrying himself with quiet authority and a weight that never leaves his shoulders. Once driven by gold and survival, he now finds himself haunted by the presence of a mermaid something he was never meant to catch, and someone he may not have the strength to let go. Beneath his scars and steel is a man aching for redemption, drawn to a beauty.
