Stealing the First Mate - Paperback

Darcy Riggins has officially walked the plank of online dating-straight into the sea of "nope." Her dream of a husband and family seems as mythical as a pirate's treasure, so she hoists the white flag and declares herself single-and happy. Or so she keeps telling herself.

Nigel Jones has been secretly head-over-deck shoes for Darcy since...forever. But thanks to one monumental mistake (that Darcy still doesn't know about), her father-and his boss-made sure Nigel's feelings stayed firmly under lock and key. He's worked alongside Darcy for years on her father's pirate adventure ship, and he'd love nothing more than to steal the first mate's heart.

Now, as Darcy navigates the uncharted waters of single life and begins to question everything she thought she wanted, Nigel knows it's time to come clean. But will his confession sink any chance of love before it even sets sail? He's heard all about the friends-to-more curse, but what could be worse than watching the love of his life remain miserable?

With sparks flying, secrets surfacing, and a hefty dose of God's grace steering the ship, Stealing the First Mate is a sun-soaked, heart-tugging romance perfect for fans of forbidden love, friends-to-more, and big, swoony moments.

Set sail on a journey filled with laughter, second chances, and the kind of love worth diving in for-no treasure map required.
