Marina has spent months aboard the Dreadwake surviving one of the most feared pirate crews on the sea. Her chance to escape comes with a stolen map, a hidden destination, and the hope of reaching land before Captain Hale realizes what she has done. She does not make it far. Kael, captain of the Starfall Hart and relentless hunter of Black Serpent pirates, captures her and assumes he has finally secured an enemy worth interrogating. Marina knows better than to trust another captain. Kael knows better than to trust a pirate. Unfortunately, the map connects to secrets from Kael’s own past, and neither can follow its riddles without the other. Their reluctant alliance carries them through storms, sea monsters, hidden islands, dangerous treasure routes, and enemies who would happily see both ships sink. Marina is also hiding a nature that makes ordinary chains surprisingly ineffective, while Kael’s own heritage is far more complicated than the confident pirate hunter he pretends to be. Attraction grows in the worst possible place: between two people trained to expect betrayal. The Saltbound Hart is a pirate fantasy romance filled with enemies-to-lovers tension, forced proximity, a wood nymph shifter, a secret siren prince, treasure hunting, krakens, dangerous crews, sea magic, hidden identities, and sharp banter aboard a ship built for adventure. Perfect for readers who love romantic fantasy on the high seas where trust is the rarest treasure and falling in love may be more dangerous than any storm.
