Storyline

"So you're going to throw me out?" she asked, while she tried to swallow the lump in her throat which only seemed to grow. "Leave me with a few pounds so I don't tell anyone the child is yours"

The losses in the war against piracy cost the EITC a fortune, yet not enough to stop the ambitious director of the company, Cutler Beckett. The Lord is still determined to rise in the hierarchy of the British empire and prove his worth. This, however, is more difficult than he had expected, especially when his first born child is carried by a pirate.

Sequel to 'Bittersweet'.
