Romancing a Pirate (ePub)

1688, Britain

Her father slain by cruel pirates, beauty Lone Stafford becomes a pirate herself at the behest of her father's hidden privateer marque that she's commanded to resume on his behalf or find herself imprisoned by the British Crown. In her quest to lure her father's killer to justice, Lone becomes stranded aboard the Slayer of the Dragon, a pirate ship captained by her father's worst adversary, Hunter Draylin. She enlists Hunter's reluctant aid, desperate to unbury Jonathan Stafford's horrifying treachery and his killer, a quest that ferries her down a prickly path of destruction.

Hunter Draylin fights a war against his lustful, seduced heart. If he falls for Lone, he risks betraying his own father's memory, for he knows Lone's father as the Red Raven, a brutal brigand who killed his father in a ruthless search for a shipwrecked treasure that no pirate possesses the exact crypt for. Torn by his starvation for blood vengeance he's never to receive and hungry to possess Lone and keep her lying in his bed, Hunter questions her innocence of the Red Raven's tyranny. Is he a fool to trust her? Alas, his lust for Lone becomes too alluring for him to forsake. He cannot resist her.

Lone battles blood-lusting pirates, swiping murderous swords, all while frenzied for Hunter's seductive caresses, a rakish rogue whose own past lies cloaked in mysterious shadow, a pirate she cannot refuse who holds the key to her desirous heart. Will she survive the betrayal forged by exposing the nefariousness surrounding her or will devils reign divine and she'll never grasp her one and only chance to romance a pirate, all owing to the venomous curse that webs a lost treasure in a blood-tinctured shroud of death?
