Although Liana Whitney was born to privilege, she works as a tavern waitress selling alcohol to the drunken patrons, while fending off their clumsy advances.  One night a man enters and gives her a medallion.  He tells her to keep it safe.  Upon his murder, the Royal Navy enters and demands the medallion. Liana doesn't know who to trust, the Royal Navy or the handsome pirate captain who kidnaps her to return the medallion to its rightful owner.  What is Liana to do?  Will the Royal Navy succeed in their endeavor?  Or, will she find a safe haven in the arms of pirate Captain Fox? This is a wonderful historical romantic suspense novel.  The characters were individualized and thought provoking, and the plot fascinating. I loved how Liana and Captain Fox had similar past experiences, which made them jaded towards the opposite sex.  Eventually, they each opened their heart and forgave.  The one drawback was the vocabulary used in this novel.  I found several words that were seldom used anymore in contemporary writing.  I employed a dictionary several times while reading this story.  I believe another round of editing would have made a great difference.
