A Duet with the Siren Duke

Victoria is a ship's captain who has sailed dangerous waters for years on magic lent to her by a siren duke. The loan carries a price: her soul and her heart. Long before, she tried to flee a dangerous marriage and was caught by a siren, who offered her a choice between temporary salvation and immediate death. She took the deal.

Five years on, she is alive and the finest captain in the world. Her ex-husband has demanded a king's ransom as the last price of her freedom. She is determined to settle it so her family suffers no more for her sake.

Then the siren comes for her six months early. He takes her to Eversea, the magical and deadly home of the sirens. There she learns she is the sacrifice all of them are counting on to appease an angry god and save a world close to destruction.

That need gives her the upper hand. Victoria bargains anew: the Siren Duke helps save her family, and she meets his demands. The arrangement holds until desire stirs in her scarred heart.

As the sacrifice for the God of Death, she is meant to give up everything that ties her to the living. His song and his touch make her feel alive. Slow-burn romance builds between them, and the bargain she struck is put at risk.
