A Pirate's Bride (The Light of Sylvie)

A pirate stole her past. She refuses to let him steal her future.
Sylvie has known terror since the day the ruthless pirate Stone Eyes tore her from her peaceful village in France and forced her into a life she never chose. Two years later, she makes a desperate escape—carrying scars too deep for anyone to see.
Alone in the Americas, 1730, Sylvie finds herself in a world as harsh as the one she fled. The lighthouse keeper cannot promise safety. No one can. Sylvie knows Stone Eyes will hunt her until he drags her back into the darkness.
Sent to Charles Town, she begins to rebuild a life among the kind and respectable Clayton family. For the first time, she discovers hope, purpose, and a glimmer of who she might become—if she can stay free.
But Stone Eyes hasn’t forgotten her.
And freedom always comes at a price.
When danger finds her again, Sylvie vows she will never be claimed by fear—or by a pirate—ever again. Her destiny is her own. She will rise, protect those she loves, and leave a legacy brighter than the shadows that tried to consume her.
In a world of treachery, trials, and breathtaking danger, she becomes a beacon of strength—known to many as the Light of Sylvie.
A sweeping historical tale of courage, survival, and the triumph of a woman determined to define her own future.
