Alex Tremain is a pirate in trouble. The two women in his life--one of
them his financial adviser, the other his diesel mechanic--have left
him. He's facing a mounting tide of debts and his crew of modern-day
buccaneers, a multi-national band of ex-military cut-throats, is getting
restless.
A chance raid on a wildlife smuggling ship sets the Chinese triads after
him and, to add to his woes, corporate lawyer Jane Humphries lands,
literally, in his lap. Another woman is the last thing Captain Tremain
needs right now--especially one whose lover is a ruthless shipping
magnate backed up by a deadly bunch of contract killers. Meanwhile Jane
finds herself torn between the crooked but charming pirate and her
coolly calculating millionaire boss, George Penfold. Both are
passionate, and both are dangerous. What Alex really needs is one last
big heist--something valuable enough to fulfil his dreams and set him
and his men up for life. When the South African government makes a
controversial decision to reinstitute the culling of elephants in its
national parks, Alex finds the answer to his dilemma--three tonnes of
ivory.
