Branded Ann — Merry Shannon

No pirate on the high seas is more bloodthirsty than the notorious Branded Ann, a woman with eyes like ice and a face marred by a mysterious cross-shaped scar. When Branded Ann raids a merchant vessel bound for Jamaica, her intention is to obtain the map that will lead her to a legendary treasure. But she hadn't bargained on taking Violet, the merchant's young wife, aboard her ship as a prisoner. Belying her childlike appearance, Violet has a dark side of her own. As the pirate captain sets sail in search of treasure, her task is made more difficult by a stowaway child, an increasingly rebellious crew, and the treacherous seas of the Devil's Triangle. To make matters worse, she finds herself falling for her not-so-innocent but altogether charming captive.
