Beautiful young Catriona Neville, named after her great Aunt Catriona the Pure, is anything but sweet and innocent. She reads forbidden books, runs away from home and dreams of being a wild adventuress. She is betrothed to be married to a pleasant, but shy young man named Edward, and although she likes him, he is simply not exciting enough. She yearns for someone dark and mysterious to sweep her off her feet and carry her away to exotic lands.
Then she meets a tall, handsome merchant sea captain named Thomas Aubrey, who seems to embody everything she has ever dreamed of. Unfortunately, Captain Aubrey is a notorious philanderer who desires men as well as women, and steals away her fiance Edward.
Catriona is devastated. She starts having strange dreams about Captain Aubrey, and believes her own wanton desires are to blame. She vows to be good - then Captain Aubrey returns, claiming that she is constantly in his thoughts, and that they are meant to be together. Catriona can only resist his promises of freedom for so long until she has to run away to sea with him...
...And then, when he finally has her in his clutches and cannot escape, Captain Aubrey reveals who he really is.
