Her mind kept telling her to stop loving him, but her heart couldn’t let him go.

Renowned author Lady Alicia Hartley has lost her muse after a bad review. She blames it all on the author JC Melrose. A chance encounter with a handsome, witty Justin Caulfield has her heart racing, and her muse seemingly back. Is he her savior or her worst nightmare?

He didn’t see the turbulent ocean. He was too busy dealing with a different tempest.

The recently retired Captain Justin Caulfield is facing his own demons. As gifted author JC Melrose, his stories honor men who died at the hand of one man. His only focus is to avenge their deaths, that is, until he meets and falls in love with Lady Alicia.

The two authors take on a writing challenge based on a story of stolen gold taken from the newspaper headlines all to determine the better writer. While researching the story, Lady Alicia is captured by the thieves’ ringleader. Can Lady Alicia turn this mystery into an award-winning story? Can Justin save his real-life heroine?

Can they both overcome their own challenges for a happily ever after?


⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐



Lady Alicia Hartley is a successful author. She has written  several books and is convinced that she can now get a better deal from her publisher. Unfortunately her tempestuous nature gets the better of her after a less than flattering review compares her to another author. 
Captain Justin Caulfield is using his own writing to exorcise his war time demons, putting his and his men's actions into a fictional setting. Although his books are very popular, especially with men,  his female characters are not as strong. 
It's very easy to get involved with our characters feelings in this historical romance.  Both are right and wrong, and when they realize that the excitement and adventure really starts.  
An unusual and fun filled start to a new series that I for one will definitely be reading more of.  
Great fun.

Add To


Deception and family honor are at stake in this grand Scottish pirate adventure! 

Wesley Reynolds will do anything to avenge his family’s banishment from Dundhragon Castle - even throw in with the notorious pirate, MacAlpin. His plan: ruin Lord Ewan’s trading network. He has an even more devious plan for his father’s best friend, the man who abandoned them at the eleventh hour. He’ll ruin the man’s most precious jewel, his daughter Darla. Wesley comes so close to succeeding he can almost taste it, but revenge is not nearly as sweet as Darla’s kisses. 

Lovely Darla Maxwell has no prospects of marriage. Her father and Lord Ewan search to find the right husband, but Darla’s special gift frightens her prospects. She is a young woman with visions that often come true, and the murky image of a man haunt her. She is certain that it's Lord Ewan’s soon-to-be son-in-law, but the vision changes when she meets Wesley. To her, the meaning couldn’t be any clearer. 

But all is not well. Revelations surface, indicating that Wesley has been deceived and his revenge misplaced. Will he find the truth of what happened to his family in time to stop the pirates? Will Darla forgive him? Most of all, will he ever forgive himself? 

It's a fast-paced, romantic adventure from start to finish!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐



Wesley Mills is a known privateer.  He has been making lots of connections amongst the seafaring community.  What is his purpose??  Who is he really??
Darla Maxwell has a special gift.  Unfortunately some believe her to be a witch because of it.  She knows it is vital for her to return to her parents home immediately. The threatening storm doesn't bother her she can never drown,  can she???
An action packed story with some characters that are devious and dangerous and others that are brave and good.
You will thoroughly enjoy finding out who is what and why. 
I look forward to reading more from this series.
