The Quartermaster & The Marquis' Son

Clash at Sea Series, Book 1.  The Quartermaster & The Marquis' Son is Book 1 of the high seas romance series between Galen, a gorgeous and seasoned pirate and Michel, the handsome young nobleman he captures at sea.  

Galen is a twenty-six year old rover and the Quartermaster of the pirate vessel the Fair Wind.  Handsome and mysterious, with piercing green eyes, he cuts an imposing figure to any man foolish enough to get in his way.   Haunted by his ill-fated past, his heart hardened by the sea, he and his Brethren comrades seek the lone vessel traversing unawares, ready to steal both ship and cargo by any means possible.  

Twenty year old Michel Laurent du Montbron is the third son of the Marquis d' Sevigne-Chambord.  Naive and idealistic yet running from his own secrets, he sets sail alone to Jamaica where his elder brother has been sent to oversee the family's holdings.  Just days shy of reaching Port Royal, Michel's ship is violently taken by buccaneers.  Unwilling to stand idle while his ship is overrun, he takes up arms and encounters Galen, the Fair Wind's Quartermaster and engages in a life and death battle.  He is ultimately disarmed and taken captive by the imposing figure and held against his will on the Fair Wind.  Michel must learn to fend for himself on a ship full of cutthroats and murderers while coming to grips with his predicament and his growing feelings for the man who took him captive. 

While Michel is immediately smitten, Galen is slower to admit his true feelings, that he is equally enamored by his young prisoner. Together they embark on a saga of romance and self-discovery amidst the hardship and unforgiving conditions on a roving ship.   Will their growing love survive and prevail on the high seas, or will the Quartermaster be proven correct that, despite their best efforts to stay together, rovers like Galen and men of Michel's ilk just don’t mix.
