Forged in blood and the reeking smoke of cannon, Callum emerges from war a hero. He is captain of his own ship, famous beyond words, and a man whose career might rise to the venerated halls of the Admiralty.

 

Instead, he gives it all up for the quiet life of a lighthouse keeper. He settles onto an island several days north of nowhere. And while his new home might be free from politics and expectations, the sea is dark and full of monsters.

 

Rhenna knows what most think of her kind . Pirates, they are called, killers and plunderers. For the most part, it’s sharkin are predators. They take, chumming the water with what’s left of those who try to deny them.

Then, she spots him.

A stranger steps onto her beach. He’s handsome, he’s got a beard , and he pulls a gun on her when she first introduces herself. He’s perfect and the scent of his blood makes her whole body sing.

She wants him. She will have him. If only he would stop resisting.

 

Rhenna is a pirate-age fantasy romance about a man trying to survive the love of one who’s a bit more monster than girl. It is a ‘yandere light’, a fated-mates story with plenty of obsession and unhinged jealousy, though no horror. There is sweetness beneath Rhenna's thick layer of crazy and the romance here is as heartfelt as it is potentially lethal.
