Ye All Are Warned – be gone if you abhor sex, foul language, crude humor, and beaky parrots.

Welcome to the wickedest city on earth...1689 Port Royal, Jamaica. Atia Crisp and her sister Livia are shipwrecked and sold into slavery. Separated, Atia finds herself a pawn in a deadly card game until she is liberated by sugar merchant Capitaine la Roche.

Capitaine la Roche is also known as the pirate Gator Gar and has a past stained with blood and grief.  He deals in Port Royal with a network of friends and allies including the kindly Dr. Strangewayes. When scarlet fever wreaks havoc on the city, he offers sanctuary to Atia and La Roche in his plantation.  Bonds of friendship are formed and the fierce love between Atia and Capitaine la Roche becomes absolute.

However, nowhere is safe as spies seek out both Atia and la Roche for the bounties on their heads.  Neither of them can escape the shadows of their former lives. Their journey leads to an inevitable conflict that threatens their world, but inches them closer towards freedom.
