Rivers Run Deep

Some family secrets are forgotten for good reason.

When his longtime family lawyer is beaten and "Rivers Run Deep" carved into his conference table, Captain Ash Rivers flies home alone while his crew brings the new Liberty Belle across the Atlantic without him. But the threat waiting in Charleston harbor isn't what he expects.

Enter Breckinridge Rivers-charming, dangerous, and bearing an uncanny resemblance to Ash. He claims to be a long-lost cousin seeking family reconciliation, but his knowledge of Ash's recent activities suggest something far more sinister.

When the truth emerges about a century-old family secret involving rape, murder, and permanent banishment, Ash discovers that Breck believes the Rivers privateering legacy was stolen from his ancestor. Now he wants the family's Letter of Marque-and he's willing to kill for it.

Ash's hesitation to end Breck's branch of the family costs him dearly when Breck escapes to Haiti's ancient Citadel fortress. Now Ash must storm one of the world's most impregnable fortresses to save the woman he loves, while confronting the truth about his family's dark past. In the treacherous waters of inherited guilt, some enemies share your blood-and some debts can only be paid with violence.

Blood runs deep. But honor runs deeper.
