Ashes and Ecstasy
Catherine Hart

All goes well until Kathleen receives news that Reed's ship has been lost in a storm and the whole crew is assumed dead. Devastated and in denial, Kathleen sets sail to search for him herself, enlisting the help of Jean Lafitte. After many months, she is forced to accept that Reed is gone.
Mourning deeply, she seeks revenge against the British, and again assumes the identity of Emerald, the infamous lady pirate. Together, she and Jean journey across the seas. But an ironic twist of fate answers Kathleen’s fervent prayers, only to confront her with evidence of a betrayal that will threaten everything she holds most dear.
