Ian Flynn, former captain of the Sea Dog, has always been a bit of an enigma. Ruthless, determined but capable of kindness and understanding. Now we get to see what makes this immortal pirate tick!

Ian and Morgan were once Captain and First Mate but Ian led a mutiny and consequently became the new captain of the freshly named Sea Dog. But Morgan didn't die on the island they stranded him on and he found his own way to immortality. Now he has it in for the Sea Dog crew.

Lily is a journalist and writer and had her heart broken by Ian. She doesn't realise that the break up was to keep her safe and new she's walked right back into his life and into the crosshairs of Morgan. She knows nothing of the crews immortality so she is in for a bit of bumpy ride on her introduction to this secret world.

Ian really made a rod for his own back with the crew. He didn't give them the benefit of the doubt to try and understand his motives which led to the original Sea Dog's destruction. He just let them treat him like a pariah. He still tried to look after him even when they all but excommunicated him! The crew did band together when the danger comes calling.

I loved Lily's reaction to the shady world the crew lives in. Her world crashes down around her and she takes it on the chin. She's determined, loyal and ready to take on this new challenge. Ian puts his foot in it a few times between mansplaining things and TELLING her what she needs to do instead of allowing her to make her own decision. But he finally gets clue!

Lots of action and adventure. Smexiness. Secrets and taut détentes!
