This Heart of Mine by Susan Elizabeth Phillips

Shimmering with water, Captain Jack’s hair was blue black. In one glance she took in the doused eagle feathers of his headdress and the fine silver bands encircling his solid upper arms.

But before she could take a breath, firm hands caught her ankles and tugged her under.
