The Pirate Captain's Nor Gold picks up where Nor Silver left off: Cate Mackenzie, a woman who lost everything to the Jacobite Uprising, trying to make sense out of being sold to Thomas, Nathanael Blackthorne's pirate friend. Once again, Fate has robbed her of everything: her home, her husband... a reason to live. As Nathan sails off over the horizon, Cate tries to come to terms with her new situation. Practicality tells her Thomas is not an altogether poor future: he's amiable, generous, and most of all, willing... but her heart is still with Nathan. Nathan, in the meantime, has but two quests: to get Cate back and to claim his revenge against Lord Breaston Creswicke and the Royal West Indies Mercantile Company. In that process, he discovers there is no outrunning his past; it comes back to haunt him in the most graphic way. Worst yet, he finds that there are consequences for every action, and that those around him are the ones to suffer that the most. The Caribbean Sea isn't big enough for Nathan, Thomas and Creswicke. Paths cross... and sparks fly.
