Unwavering by S. J. West

Ivy
The life of a pirate is not the life for me. With Alek holding me hostage this time, I fear there will be no escaping my fate. Just like Damon and Simon, he wants me to help his people reverse the curse they’re facing, but I’m not the only cure. I have to convince Alek that the real cure lies within the Barrens where Margaret discovered the elixir. Who knew my humanity would become my greatest gift and my worst nightmare? Can Damon rescue me before Alek forces me to become his mate for life? Or will I be doomed to live on the high seas forever and never again see the one man who has captured my heart?

Damon
There is nowhere Alek can take Ivy that I won’t venture to. It’s not a matter of if I will get her back. It’s a matter of when. She’s the one person I can’t live without, and I’ll be damned if I let some two bit pirate keep her away from me. Once she’s back home, we’ll venture into the Barrens together and find the fae. With Vamir’s help, I’m sure we can convince his people to provide us with more of the elixir. After we have the cure, Ivy will be free to live her life in whatever way she chooses.
I hope she chooses me because a life without her would be no life at all.
