Rebel in the Deep (Crimson Sails, #3)

by Katee Robert

The sea may be a cruel mistress, may be as changeable as any force I’ve encountered, but she’s not selfish and petty and shortsighted in the way we humans are. Her cruelty is pure in the way only an element can be. Fire, air, earth, water: they have unique personalities, but they’re all beautifully uncaring and beyond our human concerns.

If I had you in my bed, I wouldn’t waste time being unconscious.”
