Lady Faith Westcott has turned her back on God and on man. Having witnessed the hypocrisy in the Church of England, her older sister's abuse at the hand of her husband, and her own mother's untimely death in childbirth, Faith has determined never to marry and to gain enough wealth so she and her two sisters will never have to depend on man or God again. To that end, though a lady by day, she becomes a pirate by night and begins her sordid career off Portsmouth when she attacks and plunders a merchant ship commanded by the young Dajon Waite. Humiliated at being defeated by a pirate and a woman no less, Dajon returns home without cargo and ship, and his father expels him from the family merchant business. After a brief sojourn into debased society, Dajon rejoins the Royal Navy, where he finds comfort in the strict rules and redemption through his service to others. Three years later, he is sent to the frontier outpost of Charles Town, South Carolina to deal with the pirate problem. There, he connects with his mentor and old friend, Admiral Westcott, who has just arrived with his three daughters. Much to Dajon's utter dismay, Admiral Westcott, who is being called away to Spain, asks Dajon to be temporary guardian of his three lovely daughters. One of the ladies seems familiar to him, a striking redhead who immediately sends his heart thumping. Faith recognizes Captain Waite as the buffoon whose ship she plundered off Portsmouth. Yet, he appears no longer the fool, but instead a tall, handsome and commanding naval officer. Despite her immediate attraction to him, she labels him the enemy, but sparks are guaranteed to fly during the next few months when independent, headstrong and rebellious Faith falls in love with God-fearing honorable, rule-following Dajon-especially when Faith continues her pirating off the Carolina coast while her father is away. Will Dajon catch her? And what will this man of honor and duty do when he does?

Romantic Times 4 1/2 stars!

Tyndall deftly balances perilous high-seas adventure with a satisfying romance. Her feisty, devil-may-care heroine fights for what she wants and is a characters readers will root for. A great start to what looks to be a fun series Chandra McNeil - Romantic Times Magazine

The Red Siren will join my shelf of favorites. I fell in love with the characters, was entirely gripped by the action, gleefully ignored all outside intrusions as the climax unfolded (even though dinner really needed cooked), and finished it with a smile on my face. I can't wait for the next books in this series! This one's definitely not to be missed by lovers of romance, historicals, or just a good pirate tale. Roseanna White-Christian Review of Books

Take an in-depth peek at the main characters

Conflict bounces off every page, and Ms. Tyndall's characters are so realistic that you'll cry for them and cheer for them. The setting of the early American Carolina colony is unique and extremely well drawn. There seems no way that this book could have a happy ending, but alas, you'll have to find out for yourself if it does. For a swashbuckling romantic adventure in the American Colonies, you've got to read The Red Siren.
Vicki McDonough from TitleTrakk

"The Red Siren" is, simply put, a rollicking good read, liberally sprinkled with daring heroes and heroines, dastardly villains, heaving bosoms and an occasional fainting spell, told in a never preachy, yet faith-inspiring style.
Olivera Baumgartner-Jackson for Reader Views

I love romance that sizzles. This story has that. I love a romance with great conflict and seemingly impossible situations to get out of. This book has that, too. Best of all is the tension on the page. The story kept building and building and that even got my pulse racing. Isn't it great when you have a physical reaction to your character's peril?
Michelle Sutton from Favorite Pasttimes

I enjoyed this novel immensely. It is not often that you find a story that revolves around a woman pirate. Faith’s character is unique and original and her troubles, fears and questions are so real that I was able to relate to her on many levels. The storyline moves very quickly and I can say that there was never a dull moment. Even the book ended as a cliffhanger–and the problem will be solved only in the next book. Hence, those who do not like cliffhangers, wait until the entire series has come out. It is a very well-written and very well thought-out book that reminded me time and time again that God’s ways are higher than our ways.
Armchair Interviews says: Definitely a book that will not disappoint–highly recommended!
