Sun, surf, sass, sorcery and sexy, sexy pirates. Welcome to Caribbean... Captain's Log Date: Seven days since the mutiny Time: Super late Drinks: Not enough This time last week, I didn't believe in curses, but that was before I got mutinied on, marooned, and captured. Now I'm the captain of a cursed ship where if we let our guard down, some smug evil spirit invades our minds and tries to trap us in a horrific netherworld. And let's not forget that there's a bounty on me so huge, even I'm tempted to cash myself in. Why does someone want to pay that much money for me? I wish I knew. Right now there's three hot men in my cabin and I can't have sex with any of them: There's my ex, Captain Dauntless, ridiculously handsome with an ego to match the size of his...ship. There's the mysterious Sebastian, one of the hottest peddlers of pleasure in the caribbean, who wants to give me a good time but is definitely hiding something. And there's the Commodore Benedict St Stephens, my nemesis, my prisoner, who has a hard-on for killing me instead of a regular hard-on but I'm sure I could talk him 'round. What can I say, there's a lot of love-hate happening in this room, as well as a lot of hate-hate. I just want gold, drink and sex. Instead, I've got to deal with this curse and this bounty, before they get me killed. ****** Pirate Queen's Curse is the first in a series of slow-burn, high snark RH, featuring the kick-ass snark-filled Captain Magpie Flint, the crew of the Queen's Liberty, and four hot men, because why choose?There is a HEA at the end of the series. Warning: Contains violence, alcohol, sex and cussing. So much cussing.

Defoe’s novels have been translated into many languages and are still read across the globe to this day. Some of his most famous books include ‘Moll Flanders’ and ‘Robinson Crusoe’ which was adapted into a movie starring Pierce Brosnan and Damian Lewis in 1997. Defoe’s influence on English novels cannot be understated and his legacy lives on to this day.
