Black Sails of the Border: Start with Ruthless, But for Her

Mere’s End teaser for Black Sails of the Border

Updated October 21, 2026: the first Black Sails adventure is here.

Three brothers. No flag. No king. The North Sea belongs to the Black Sails.

Ruthless, But for Her begins my Black Sails of the Border trilogy, a steamy medieval romance series set on the thirteenth-century Anglo-Scottish Border and the North Sea. Start with Ashton and Cassia: a reiver who answers to no crown and a captive who refuses to be traded again.

Each book follows a different brother and has its own happily ever after. Reckless, But for Her follows as Book Two and is available for preorder.

See the series reading order.

Try the opening chapters.

Meet Reckless, But for Her.
