A Stormy Encounter
The sea roared like a wounded beast, waves crashing against the deck of the Crimson Tide with a vengeance. Captain Ethan Blackwell tightened his grip on the wheel, his sharp blue eyes scanning the darkness ahead. The storm was fierce, but it was not nearly as wild as the fire burning in his chest. A fire that had a name—Isla Montgomery.
She was a stowaway, found below deck just days ago, drenched and desperate. With hair like spun gold and eyes that held secrets darker than the abyss beneath them, Isla was unlike any woman he had ever met.
“You shouldn’t be here,” Ethan had told her that night, his voice as rough as the sea.
“And yet, here I am,” she had replied, defiant.
Isla was running from something—or someone. And as fate would have it, she had run straight into Ethan’s arms.

The Hunter’s Shadow
By morning, the storm had passed, but danger still loomed. Isla had been a noblewoman once, but she was now a fugitive, accused of a crime she did not commit. A powerful man, Lord Beaumont, wanted her dead, and his reach extended far beyond the shore.
Ethan knew he should have let her go, but every glance from her set his blood ablaze. He had sailed for gold, for glory—but now, for the first time, he sailed for something far more dangerous: love.
“We dock in two days,” he told her as they stood on the bow. “Tell me where you need to go, and I’ll see you there safely.”
She hesitated, her fingers trembling. “Nowhere is safe.”
Ethan clenched his jaw. If that were true, then she would stay with him.

Flames and Desires
The Crimson Tide found refuge on a hidden cove. For the first time in weeks, there was peace. Isla let herself breathe. She let herself feel. And she let Ethan touch her.
His hands were rough, calloused from years of battle, yet they were gentle when they traced her skin. “You make me forget the world,” he murmured against her lips.
“And you remind me what it’s like to be alive,” she whispered.
The night burned with their passion, the stars above witnessing their desperate need for each other. But paradise was fleeting.
Betrayal and Blood
Dawn broke with gunfire.
Beaumont’s men had found them.
Ethan fought like a demon, his sword cutting through the enemy, but there were too many. Isla screamed as hands wrenched her away from him.
“Run, Isla!” Ethan shouted, blood dripping from a wound on his forehead.
She didn’t run. Instead, she fought, clawing and striking, but they were ruthless. Before she could reach Ethan, a pistol cracked through the air. He fell to his knees.
“No!” Isla screamed, lunging toward him, but darkness swallowed her before she could reach him.
Love Beyond Death
Isla woke to the smell of salt and iron. Chains bound her wrists.
Across the ship, Ethan was motionless, blood staining his shirt. He had been shot, but the rise and fall of his chest told her he was still alive. Barely.
Lord Beaumont stepped into the light. “You thought you could escape, little dove?” he sneered. “Foolish girl. Love makes fools of us all.”
Despair threatened to consume her, but Isla was not weak. Love had not made her foolish—it had made her fearless. With the last of her strength, she broke free, seizing the dagger from the guard’s belt.
Ethan stirred as she sliced through his bindings. “We die together,” he murmured.
“No,” she said. “We live.”
They fought like devils, and this time, it was Beaumont who fell.
With the ship in flames behind them, Ethan and Isla dove into the dark embrace of the sea, their hands locked together.
A Love That Endures
Months passed. The world thought Ethan Blackwell and Isla Montgomery had perished, but the sea had other plans.
Far away, on an untouched shore, they began anew.
No titles. No past. Just love, burning as fiercely as the sun above them.
Because love—true love—was the greatest adventure of all.
