When a noblewoman's abduction by a charming pirate captain lets her escape an unhappy future, a surprise reunion threatens to drag her back to her past.
England, 1612. For Margaret, Lady Sherman, widowhood is a crisis. The inheritance set aside to support her might be enough to escape the stifling role of wife... unless her stepson snatches it back by marrying her himself. His dangerous obsession puts Margaret at the mercy of a charming pirate captain. Desperate for a new start, she makes a reckless decision to join his crew as their purser.
As Margaret tallies piles of plunder, she relishes her newfound sense of empowerment. But when a figure from her past resurfaces, Margaret must guard her most precious treasures: her hard-won freedom... and her heart.
Rooted is a slow-burn, open-door historical romance that's perfect for those who love Philippa Gregory novels or the Showtime TV series The Tudors.
