Description: "Born a despised gypsy and tricked into a life of debauchery, Lola Blaise quickly finds herself at the mercy of the harsh ways of the world and of the men who inhabit it. But in the New World awaits a different fate, full of passion, danger, and freedom: a life of piracy.

In the midst of a pirate's life, Lola must use every hard-earned skill in her arsenal to survive. And if she can break free from being a pawn in the games of men, Lola may finally become the master of her own destiny.."--
