Out of a band of violent men, shipwreckers all, came Marianna Harper - a girl so unkempt that her budding beauty barely showed. In the deep fog of the night, she salvaged a delicate prize from the sea - Phillip Courtwright. The most beautiful man she had ever seen. Together they loved and to protect their love — and lives — they killed. Then, at Marianna’s most desperate moment, into her life strode a new man, Captain Adam Street. As mighty as the ships he commanded, as passionate as Phillip was tender, as forceful as the love he gave - a man who swept Marianna up into the tides of love.
