first edition

Edward Kenway has spent a decade masking his Omega nature behind cold steel and bitter suppressants to rule as First Mate of The Jackal’s Revenge. Captain Jack Tegue is a predatory Alpha who has always valued Edward’s mind, but as the suppressants fail, his primal instincts take a dark and obsessive turn. During a brutal skirmish in the Caribbean, Edward’s scent finally breaks through, triggering a possessive madness in his Captain that shatters their professional bond. Jack claims Edward not just as his mate, but as his prize, stripping him of his rank and confining him within the captain’s cabin. While Edward fights the biological urge to submit, the Royal Navy, led by the sadistic Lord Alistair Sterling, closes in with a personal vendetta against the pirates. The power struggle on the ship intensifies as the crew senses the change in hierarchy, threatening a violent mutiny. Edward must navigate a treacherous path between the man who wants to own his soul and the man who wants to see him in a cage in London. Their relationship is a storm of violence, dominance, and a dark, emerging devotion that defies the pirate code. As the heat cycle consumes Edward, the lines between captive and partner blur in the salt spray and blood. Every touch from Jack is a brand, a reminder that the ocean is no longer Edward’s only master. Together, they must face a fleet of ships and the darker demons of their own desires to survive the treacherous waters of the West Indies.
