The Siren’s Blade - A Pirate’s Final Temptation

Isolde Ravencourt

Beschreibung

Captain Rhys Calder has survived storms, betrayal, and war—on land and sea. But nothing prepares him for the enigmatic courtesan who boards The Tempest under a veil of secrets. With a knife hidden in her skirts and eyes that don’t flinch from danger, Celeste is unlike any woman he's ever met. She’s trouble. And he can’t stay away.

Celeste didn’t come aboard for pleasure. She’s an assassin, sent to eliminate a traitor hidden among the crew. Her mission is clear. Her orders are final. But the pirate captain with a haunted past and a dangerously steady gaze keeps pulling her off course—testing her loyalty, awakening desires she buried long ago.

As deception gives way to trust, and fire gives way to something far deeper, both Rhys and Celeste must confront the truth: the greatest danger isn’t betrayal or blades—it’s what happens when two hearts forged by violence dare to dream of peace.

But trust comes with a price. And some secrets refuse to sink quietly.

Will love be their shipwreck—or the only escape from everything they've ever known?

This novel is part of SINS OF THE CENTURIES, an interconnected collection of standalone historical romances where passion burns across the ages.

They were warriors and rogues, kings and killers—men born of blood, battle, and forbidden fire. Across shattered empires, storm-lashed highlands, and velvet-draped chambers, they took what they wanted… until desire struck back. Bound by duty, driven by lust, and haunted by the sins of their time, these men meet the one woman who will ignite a passion fierce enough to defy history.

SINS OF THE CENTURIES is a searing journey through the dark and decadent edges of romance, where love is war, trust is a gamble, and surrender is the most dangerous sin of all. From captured brides to defiant ladies, pirate queens to rebel warriors, each heroine matches her hero in fire and fury. Together, they carve out love stories too bold to be forgotten—and too hot to be forgiven.

Every era holds a secret. Every legacy hides a temptation. In a world of blades and betrayals, these lovers risk everything to taste what should never be theirs.

If you hunger for dominant men with steel in their hands and shadows in their pasts—and heroines who refuse to kneel—step into the heat.

Because history remembers power. But passion? Passion leaves scars.
