Benjamin Pedrick lives a double life—smuggler by necessity, gentleman by blood, and silent romantic by choice. With fiery red curls and sea-foam eyes, he moves easily through Cornish coves and moonlit danger but stumbles when it comes to matters of the heart—especially when that heart belongs to Jemma Rowe. For seven years, he buried his longing behind duty and distance, convinced her royal Indian heritage placed her social class far above his reach. But when danger from the corrupt East India Company erupts on their shores, Ben must choose between staying silent or finally claiming the woman who made him believe love could be worth risking everything.

Jemima “Jemma” Rowe refuses to let society define her. Born in India, raised in England, and descended from both baronets and maharajas, she straddles two worlds and belongs fully to neither. Sharp-tongued, fiercely independent, and proudly biracial, she defies the rigid boxes English society tries to place her in. With her dagger tucked beneath her odhni and fire in her spirit, Jemma’s done being overlooked—especially by the man whose gaze once made her feel seen. When secrets surface and lives hang in the balance, Jemma must decide whether to guard her heart or trust Ben with it—on her terms, in her power, and for the future they might still build together.
