Learn moreBoston Harbor, 1775. James Sparhawk, master and commander in the British Navy, knows trouble when he sees it. The ship he's boarded is carrying ammunition and gold into a country on the knife's edge of war. Sparhawk's duty is clear: confiscate the cargo, impound the vessel, and seize the crew. But when one of the ship's boys turns out to be a lovely girl with a loaded pistol and dead-shot aim, Sparhawk finds himself held hostage aboard a Rebel privateer.
Sarah Ward never set out to break the law. Before Boston became a powder keg, she was poised to escape the stigma of being a notorious pirate's daughter by marrying Micah Wild, one of Salem's most successful merchants. Then a Patriot mob destroyed her fortune and Wild played her false by marrying her best friend and smuggling a chest of Rebel gold aboard her family's ship.
Now branded a pirate herself, Sarah will do what she must to secure her family's safety and her own future, even if that means taking part in the cat-and-mouse game unfolding in Boston Harbor—the desperate naval fight between British and Rebel forces for the mat├®riel of war—and pitting herself against James Sparhawk, the one man she cannot resist.

Reviews
“A fast-paced, soundly researched historical intrigue with vivid characters and sharp writing, The Rebel Pirate is a compelling read.”
“The Rebel Pirate is a quick-paced tale, complete with smuggling, suspense, rebellion, and too many wonderful swashbuckling moments to count. Thorland pens an intriguing slant on the American Revolution as her characters’ shifting loyalties and the changing tides of war keep readers invested in the story—cheering the hero and heroine on as they are caught in a wildly exciting cat-and-mouse game where history is a key character and the adventures keep coming.”
“In a novel that seethes with conflict, intrigue, and romance, Thorland brings to life the tumultuous age of redcoats and rebels through her exquisite use of historical detail…If you’re a reader who enjoys immersion in another place and time, or if you’re simply looking for a riveting page-turner, you can’t miss with The Rebel Pirate.”
“We enjoyed The Rebel Pirate immensely. It is a great read with all the joy of wonderful historical detail and surprising plot twists. Thumbs up from us!”
