Domingo is a notorious pirate wanted for a list of crimes longer than he is tall. He still has not solved how he managed to secure Lieutenant James Richardson Flint of His Majesty's Royal Navy as his beau, given they tried to kill one another at first sight years ago. A chance rendezvous in Nassau prompts Domingo and James to embrace the summer heat with nothing but two stolen candles and Domingo's authoritative instincts to create a toe-curling encounter centered on dominance and submission. Though he wields considerable power in his day-to-day life, James is happy to forfeit control and make the most of his shore leave with the only man to ever bring him to his knees.
