Annalisa Townsend sat at the desk in her cabin. She could hardly believe that she had finally captured James Sterling.

It had been almost too easy. That thought nagged at her. She’d ordered The Dangerous Lady to set sail as soon as she and her men had boarded the ship – with their captive in tow.

She’d learned a lot in the year since the attack on the Horizon. If pirates sought to seize her ship today, she wouldn’t seek refuge in the cargo hold. She’d draw her cutlass and fight the pirates. She was no longer weak and helpless. She was skilled with the parry and the thrust. She’d spent countless hours practicing, learning the techniques required to fight in close quarters aboard a ship. There was little room to maneuver, but her slender figure worked to her advantage. She was generally more nimble than her opponent, who was usually Nathaniel Northrup.

During most of the past year, she’d been under his tutelage. The young officer who’d helped her disembark from the Horizon had lefte the kind’s service shortly after the attack. Like her, he felt he could better serve his country as a free agent, untethered by the rules that applied to the Royal Navy. Together, they plotted and planned how best to regain what they had lost.

With money her father had set aside to be used as a dowry when she married, Annalisa had purchased an aging ship and renamed it The Dangerous Lady.
