Sunrise Surrender

A swashbuckling outlaw and a spirited young woman play a dangerous game of cat and mouse on the Mississippi River in this romance from "a superb writer" ( RT Book Reviews).

Mississippi River, 1879. Delta Jarrett is desperate to end the recurring dreams that haunt her: disturbing, passionate dreams about her ancestor, pirate Anne Bonny, and Anne's lover, Calico Jack. In need of distraction, Delta agrees to serve as a reporter for her brother-in-law Hollis's newspaper, the St. Louis Sun. She'll cover stories onboard a Louisiana showboat, the Mississippi Princess, at each port of call as it makes its way to New Orleans.

Brett Reall, on the run from a murder he did not commit, is back in the bayous of Louisiana after a decade, disguised and on the lookout for bounty hunters and the law. His enemies could be anywhere, but after boarding the Mississippi Princess, he has a new fear: that his unquenchable desire for Delta will put her in harm's way.

Delta can sense the danger that surrounds Brett, but her vivid dreams and growing love for this real-life pirate only draw her closer to him-and to disaster.

"A compelling romance that incorporates all the mystery, adventure, and passion of a historical novel with a fresh approach-the perfect tale for the reader who craves a hint of the unusual within a love story." - RT Book Reviews
