About this book

When Roberta Harcourt's ship is attacked by pirates, she expects the worst — what she doesn't expect is that the worst comes in the form of Captain Dominic Grey, a man devastatingly handsome enough to make a sensible woman forget every rule she's ever lived by.

Captured and brought aboard his ship, Roberta refuses to play the helpless lady. When the insufferably charming captain offers her two choices — share his bed like a proper guest or earn her keep as a cabin boy — she doesn't hesitate. Breeches it is. She'd rather scrub the deck than surrender an inch of her dignity to a smirking pirate, no matter how broad his shoulders or how dangerously warm his dark eyes look in the lamplight.

But every night, locked in a cabin with the brooding Captain Grey, Roberta discovers that hating someone and wanting them can occupy the same treacherous waters. Dominic is infuriating, relentless, and absolutely certain she'll come around to his way of thinking — which is precisely why she can't afford to let her guard down. Or let him kiss her again.

Set against the wild, salt-sprayed world of high-seas adventure, *No Rest for the Wicked* is a wickedly fun historical romance that balances sharp wit, crackling tension, and slow-burning heat. With a heroine who refuses to be rescued and a pirate who may need saving himself, this is one voyage you won't want to end.
