    Summary

    Somewhere in the Caribbean Sea, a merchant ship is attacked by the Lady Death, a pirate ship commanded by the formidable, well-known and feared Captain Rio Vidal. The crew is quickly tied up and interrogated, including a young woman who introduces herself as Agnes. But she seems a little too elegant in her appearance, her clothes too neat, her hands too delicate, and when another prisoner reveals Agnes’s real name, her lie is exposed.

    Agatha Harkness, the only daughter of the powerful Governor Harkness, is unmasked. She has run away from her strict mother, who wants to marry her off to a rich man, and boarded the first ship that agreed to take her with them without asking questions.

    Seeing this as an opportunity to demand a large ransom from her mother, the captain decided to keep her alive rather than throw her overboard. But what he hadn’t anticipated was becoming so attached to her and to her presence on his ship; and as for Agatha, who was supposed to be treated as a prisoner, she hadn’t expected to feel freer on this ship than she had ever been in her entire life.

    And as the days went by, the thought that Agatha might one day return home, was becoming increasingly unbearable for both of them.

    Summary

    Set in the early 19th Century, The Vidal Family’s standing comes into question when their sole heir and daughter, Rio Vidal, nears the age of seven-and-twenty, unmarried and far too preoccupied with the trouble of the neighbor’s adopted stable girl, Agatha.

    In the face of societal rumor mongering and her daughter's peculiarities, Lady Vidal orchestrates a summer of masquerades to help encourage Rio to procure a respectable engagement.

    But can one find love hiding behind a mask?

    OR

    Rio Vidal finds herself caught between the forbidden, unrealized feelings for a woman of the wrong class and the enchanting mystery of a masked suitor who promises everything society demands of her.

    Summary

    Agatha has come to terms with the fact that she will probably never meet her match: someone who checks all the boxes on her list of requirements for all aspects of a fulfilling relationship.

    That is until she meets Rio, who seems to be everything she wants and more.

    But when she takes her home, it turns out how much of her infatuation has been based on false assumptions, significantly decreasing their compatibility.

    Oh well, she can let her go. Right?

    Summary

    The woman doesn’t look away. Instead she smiles. It’s not soft or overly friendly. It isn’t even warm. It’s coy.

    It makes Rio shiver slightly.

    No one watches the Secret Service. No one smiles at them. People avoid them. They lower their eyes as they walk past. Even seems to shrink themselves subconsciously. The authority makes them nervous.

    This woman doesn’t fear her. She doesn’t even seem intimated by her. She’s fascinated.

    Like a predator studying another predator. Trying to decide friend or foe.

    “I need intel on the brunette,” Rio snaps into her earpiece.

    Or:

    While assigned to the President’s detail, Secret Service agent Rio Vidal meets Agatha O’Connor, a socialite with old family money. Except that’s not Agatha’s name. Or Agatha’s job.

    Summary

    Rio loved the Little Dribblers. Five-year-olds were surprisingly competent on the basketball court, and they were ridiculously cute. Coaching the team was also a fantastic ego boost. All of the kids and their parents adored Coach Rio. Barring Agatha, of course. But Rio had no self-preservation instinct and liked getting yelled at by pretty women, so it was fine.

    Agatha, on the other hand, hated the Little Dribblers. She wished she’d never signed her son up for the stupid basketball team. Agatha knew Nicky was the worst player on the team. That wasn’t the problem. She couldn’t care less about her son’s lack of athletic ability—he’d inherited it from her. The problem was Nicky’s new obsession with the coach of said basketball team—something he may have also inherited from her.

    OR: The one where Rio coaches Nicky's basketball team, and Agatha has to deal with the consequences.
