Tagline:
Held captive as the personal hostage of a pirate
captain,
Esme desperately pursues her true love.
Blurb:
Esme has her heart set on one man. Unfortunately, he’s
a pirate. Her only hope in catching his attention is to do something drastic
and risk her life. Relying on the loathsome act of pressganging, she uses her
disguise to gain access to his ship. However, Captain Flynn Bartoc has other
plans for Esme, and she’s not going to win anyone’s heart if she’s tied up in
his cabin.
Excerpt
She was by the stern window of his
cabin. “What’s going on?”
“A frigate of His Majesty’s navy. We
must make sail. With luck we’ll be away before it can turn to follow.” The wind
at least was in his favour.
“Leave!” She held out her wrists.
“Untie me. I’ll row myself ashore.”
“It’s too late.”
“Nonsense.”
He folded his arms across his chest.
“Don’t argue with me.”
“I’ll swim—”
He laughed. “The current will drag
you out to sea. It’s called the tide.”
She stamped her foot. “I know about
tides, and the stars and the leeward winds. I know how a ship tacks and wears.
I can read a chart.”
“My, my. You have been well-schooled,
but by whom?”
She bit her lip. “Nobody,” she said,
surly.
“I thought as much. Getting grand
ideas will not serve you well aboard my ship.”
“You can’t keep me here—”
“What do you propose I do with you?
Let you wear a dress among my men or have you continue your disguise?”
Her lips trembled. “I do not want
them to know.”
Her bare breasts, which she’d tried
to cover with her buttonless shirt, were topped by the prettiest of nipples.
Firm little pebbles that caught his eye. She tossed her long hair off her
shoulder. Another tease that invigorated the hardening member in his breeches.
Now that she wasn’t going anywhere, there was plenty he planned to do once they
were safely away. He couldn’t believe his good fortune. He’d have to tread
carefully, though. His men would be quick to envy him if they knew that he had
a woman in his cabin every night. They’d chosen him to be captain because he
was considered lucky, and dangerous. He was also making them richer, and in
their hearts, they would give him whatever he wanted if there was gold in their
pockets.
