The Black Cat Inn reeked of pipe smoke and rum, the air thick with the clamor of sailors. Isabel Lockwood navigated the crowd, her dark eyes sharp as a blade, dismissing any who dared to touch her. Suddenly, the door burst open, admitting a gust of cold night air. Captain Killian Jones stepped through, his black coat billowing, a rakish hat tilted over eyes that promised danger. His smile was not a welcome, but a weapon. Their gazes locked, a silent spark igniting in the dim light. She remained unimpressed; he looked as though he owned the night. “Rum,” he commanded, his voice low and edged with authority.
