Dead Man’s Kiss
“Thank
you, Capitán,” she said.
“Don’t
thank me, lass. Another moment more whilst he had his weapon raised, I would
have blown a hole into your cousin’s skull. And if we survived the British
onslaught, you can be certain I’d have used you to save myself and my crew.”
Catalina
dropped her gaze to her hands and sighed. “I understand more than you’d give me
credit for.” She impaled him with a grim look. “We are all pawns to someone
else’s ambitions. As sure as the sun rises and sets, I would do the same to
you.”
“Would
you? A scared mouse such as you?” What an interesting creature.
“You
don’t seem like a man given to underestimating others.”
Catalina
shed her earlier fear, recouping her tart attitude rather quickly in spite of
nearly becoming British property. She was quick to stand her ground, he’d give
her that. No matter. He could break her of her illusions of prevailing upon him
like she did her uncle.
“Then
we have an understanding.”
“Oh,
I understand. The question is, who is the pawn and who is the queen?”
“You
mean king.”
She
smiled. “No, queen.”
“I
do love a good challenge.” He circled the lass. “Pray tell, Miss Montoya,” he
whispered low into her ear. “What would the queen do with her pawn—should he be
in her service?”
“She
would have him kneel before her.” She paused, turning her head slightly to him.
Valeryn’s
tongue danced behind his lips with the urge to run it along the curve of her
ear. What would it be like to feel her shiver if he were to lap at her lobe?
“And?”
She
nibbled her bottom lip, avoiding eye contact. “And drink from her fount.”
Christ!
The double entendre damn near caused his knees to buckle. “The pawn’s a thirsty
man. He might drink her dry.”
Her
stare remained fixed straight ahead. “To protect her place, a queen must ensure
my pawn is sated.”
My pawn? Burn and
sink it! ’Twas a slip of the tongue, and she was killing him.
“Will I be
sated?” He couldn’t stop himself. He could ravage her in a kiss if it weren’t
for Nalda sulking nearby and the crew watching their every move.
She
turned her head in closer and peered up. Her lips parted, her breath shallow,
the pupils of her eyes wide, eclipsing the color. “Will I?”
Holy
Mother of— “You tread a dangerous path.”
“We
both do.”
“Then
’tis best we err on the side of caution.”
Valeryn
stepped away from her heat, to a safe distance. There was work to be done, work
that would be made difficult with a stiff cock. “My lady,” he said by way of
parting.
He
spun on his heel and gathered the men on the quarterdeck for further orders. He
waited at the top of the ladder for Henri to make the climb. Below, Nalda
wagged a bony finger at Catalina, scolding her with words he couldn’t hear and
probably wouldn’t understand. The lass ignored her maid and strode for the
hatch leading to the cabins. She paused at the door and looked up. She smiled
at Valeryn and quickly ducked inside.
Trouble.
She was all trouble.
The Black Morass
The
sun sat below the yardarm, as Jean Marc leaned against the stern rail and
admired his new cabin mate. No, they had not discussed her quarters,
as he saved that particular joy for later, and he sincerely looked forward to
what he anticipated would be a heated but restrained exchange.
A
compelling mix of innocence, polite decorum, and fire, Lady Madalene conversed
with members of the crew at the waist, without care, given she had no idea what
naughty games he planned for her, but she would learn soon enough with whom she
tangled. Rubbing the back of her neck, she shifted and peered over
her shoulder. When she met his gaze, he smiled, and she dipped her
chin.
“The
lady is a kind soul, Cap’n.” Tyne scratched his cheek and
frowned. “She treats the men with respect.”
“And
your point would be—what?” Ah, the curve of her jaw presented a
tempting confection he would trace with his tongue, and he would suckle and
nibble her sweet flesh that night. “Have the tars completed the
task?”
“Aye,
but I do not like it, as she is young.” The bosun shuffled his
feet. “We could empty one of the storerooms, and create a private
lodging for her. Say the word, and I will see to it.”
“If
I heeded your advice, how long do you think it would take before I had to kill
a horny sea dog bent on sampling her honey?” Jean Marc snickered and
descended the companion ladder, with Tyne bringing up the rear. “Now
I will approve of the arrangements, ensure everything is as I commanded, and
then you will send my guest to my cabin.”
“We
could post a guard—”
“No.”
“Jean
Marc, I know you are unhappy with the bargain you struck with the British, but she
is a guileless babe.” Tyne grabbed Jean Marc’s arm. “Do
not use her as a foil for your frustration, as you will never forgive
yourself.”
“I
will do with her as I choose, which is none of your affair, and I have no
conscience.” Wrenching free, he turned on a heel and stomped into
his domain. In the corner hung a small hammock, which had been
strung unusually high and taut, to discourage Lady Madalene from using
it. As he tugged on the stiff rope, he laughed. “Perfect. Now,
bring her to me.

Chloe
Flowers
A
Parrothead at heart, Chloe’s love for pirates began with Peter Pan
and continued with Pirates of the Caribbean and ghost stories about
pirates from the Outer Banks. She listens to Celtic music while she
writes. When life gets too serious, she reads Calvin and Hobbes
comics. She lives in Ohio with her tall, dark and handsome husband,
three children and two rambunctious dogs, Indiana and Luke, who are
named after her two favorite action heroes.
Descended
from a family of cooks and gourmet chefs, Chloe is a true foodie and
along with working for fortune 500 companies in marketing and
teaching MBA students strategic marketing, she also ran a gourmet
cookie company. Cooking for a crowd runs in the blood, so her fridge
is always full. She deals with stress by baking pies (just ask her
college roommates what it was like for them around exam time).
Her
idea of a perfect day? Sailing on the Caribbean with her family, sun
in her face and wind at her back, and finishing the day in the
kitchen making a fab gourmet meal and sipping a glass of wine.
The
Pirates & Petticoats Series is about spunky heroines and the
scoundrels who love them.

Barbara
Devlin
USA
Today bestselling, Amazon All-Star author Barbara Devlin was born a
storyteller, but it was a weeklong vacation to Bethany Beach, DE that
forever changed her life. The little house her parents rented had a
collection of books by Kathleen Woodiwiss, which exposed Barbara to
the world of romance, and Shanna remains a personal favorite. Barbara
writes heartfelt historical romances that feature flawed heroes who
may know how to seduce a woman but know nothing of marriage. And she
prefers feisty but smart heroines who sometimes save the hero, before
they find their happily ever after. Barbara earned an MA in English
and continued a course of study for a Doctorate in Literature and
Rhetoric. She happily considered herself an exceedingly eccentric
English professor, until success in Indie publishing lured her into
writing, full-time, featuring her fictional knighthood, the Brethren
of the Coast.

Kamery
Solomon
Kamery
is not the person who grew up dreaming of the day that she would
clutch her very own novel to her chest, tears brimming over the rims
of her eyes as she thought about how she'd written it herself,
finally! In fact, anything remotely like that didn't even happen
until she was actually holding her first book in her hand, amazed
that she'd written it and wondering how on Earth she'd managed to do
it when it hadn't ever occurred to her to write one until months
before. Surprisingly, though, it was just what she never realized she
loved doing.
When
starting out in life, Kamery had (and still has) big dreams to
perform on Broadway. She loves music and acting very much, while she
and dance have a love/hate relationship; she would love to do it and
every form of dance decides it hates that about her, haha! The one
constant she always had between the performing world and the book
world were the stories, tales that transported her to other worlds
and made her feel like she really could do anything. Finally, she
decided she wanted to do that for someone else and sat down to write.
It's
been a few years since she held that first book, realizing that she
really liked writing and wanted to do more, but the love that
blossomed in that moment has only grown. Currently, Kamery works from
home in Arizona, while taking care of her two adorable kids, a girl
and a boy, and talking her sweet husband Jake's ear off about the
insane amount of characters in her head who are ready to fight to the
death for a chance at their own novels. It truly is a wonderful life!
