A young man blessed with good looks but cursed with criminal ambition, "Pretty Boy" Floyd charmed his way into petty crime before graduating to house-breaking and armed robbery across the Midwest.

Sir Ronald Blake, the swashbuckling Sea Eagle, races to rescue Lady Jane from ruthless Caribbean pirates who've kidnapped her and demand a king's ransom—but the stakes run far deeper than a simple hostage exchange when a crucial royal document falls into the cutthroats' hands. When the Sea Eagle's trusted fiancée, Kit Young, is forced ashore as a bargaining chip, he discovers the pirates have played him for a fool, and now both women are imprisoned in the brigands' island stronghold. With cunning and steel, the Sea Eagle must navigate treachery and violence to outwit One Eye and his crew before they can exploit the document for their own gain.
