I remember enjoying this book but can’t remember the title or author at all and I’m going bonkers. It’s not Sea of Ruin by Pam Goodwin. I’m pretty sure it was published fairly recently and not an 80s/90s bodice ripper.

- Starts off with FMC who lives on the coast (I think in america somewhere south?) about to be betrothed to an older man.

- At some point the older man tries to assault her but she fights him off and either injures or ends him and needs to run away.

- I think her mother helps her escape by smuggling her onto a ship.

- she eventually ends up on a pirate ship and meets the MMC captain and they fall in love

- she remembers her father as a sailor who’d visit her in secret on the shore when she was younger, but he stopped (because he might have been caught?) Later find out her father was an infamous pirate and he knew the MMC. They might have been on the same boat.
