Condemned & Admired: The Earl's Cunning Wife (Book 10)
What readers say:
⚓️“Violette wasn’t a damsel in distress, and she didn’t need a hero to save her because she was the hero.”
⚓️“Wolf does an amazing job of showing her readers that blood doesn’t make a family.” ⚓️“I finished this book in record time as I only put it down when life forced me to.”Murmurs went through the sailors around him, and Oliver abandoned his observations, trying to catch what they were saying.
“That one’s a woman.”
“Are you daft? Women don’t sail.”
“I’m telling you, it’s a woman.”
“You must be losing your eyesight.”
Craning his neck, Oliver let his gaze sweep over the privateer’s crew, his pulse hammering at the thought of a woman on board. Had she been kidnapped? Was she a prisoner? Possibly an English prisoner?
When Oliver finally saw her, his heart seemed to stop, and his breath caught in his throat. Not because of her beautiful face or the figure she struck standing at the bow a sword in her hand and a pistol strapped to her hip. Nor was it the golden tendrils dancing in the wind or her stunningly blue eyes with a spark of violet in them.
No, it was the calm serenity that rested in her eyes. Here was
someone–a woman no less–who knew exactly where she belonged, where her place in this world was. There was no doubt. No question. No hesitation.
How had she ended up on that ship? For she was clearly not a prisoner, but a member of the crew. Was she the captain’s wife? Never had he heard of a captain allowing his wife on board? Much less allowing her to carry a weapon?
Still, here she was, far away from the restrictions her gender placed on her. How had she freed herself? Oliver wondered, envy burning in his chest as he watched her.
She was chosen. He was claimed. Together, they build something lasting. Oliver Cornell, heir to an English title, has never known tenderness from his blood. Raised under cold expectations and withheld affection, he’s come to see family as duty—not devotion. But one twist of fate sets him adrift… and brings him into the life of Violet Winters.
She never asked to be adopted. She simply was—by love. Violet doesn’t meet anyone’s definition of proper. A privateer with wild courage and a life lived by her own terms, she’s the daughter of a man who saw her and said “mine.” She’s never needed society’s approval—but when she needs an ally to navigate its rules, she offers Oliver a bargain: a marriage in name only.
What begins in strategy becomes sanctuary. In Violet’s fierce loyalty, Oliver finds the love he’s always craved. In Oliver’s quiet kindness, Violet glimpses a home she never dared imagine. And slowly, they discover that family is not who you’re born to—but who shows up, stands beside you, and chooses you with their whole heart.
His family gave him a title. Hers gave her everything. And together, they build the kind that lasts.
⚓ If you’ve ever longed for family not born, but found—and the comfort of belonging exactly where you’re seen… this story is yours.
Each love story in this series can be read as a stand-alone. However, most readers prefer to read them in order.
