Wattys shortlist 2021 "I'm already loving this story" - _singforjoy_ "You are going to get me what I want," Isla said, calmly. "Or I will kill you." The words hung in the air between them. Raif looked unconcerned. "Is that so?" he said. Born to the captain of a pirate ship, Isla has spent her whole life at sea. Raised among sailors, her father has trained her to fight, command a crew, and, most importantly, the secrets of the ocean currents. When her father is killed in a storm, she is forced to step into his role as captain. Not only does she have to provide for the men on her ship, but she also inherits her father's outstanding debt to Lord Sutherland: the task of stealing the rare Serpent's Eye emerald. After months of failure to locate the emerald, Isla is forced to take extreme measures: she kidnaps Duke Raif Sayers, who knows of the emerald's location. But Raif proves to be more strong willed and stubborn than Isla expected. Matters become even more complicated when Raif's father offers a large reward for his son's rescue and suddenly every cutthroat is looking for Raif and the pirate who kidnapped him. As Isla and her crew are pushed to their limits and race against their deadline, Isla has to face that the one decision she thought would save her crew could be the very thing that destroys them.

[COMPLETED] When professional hit woman Emmalyn Rivers gets accosted by a mysterious cloak-wearing man who carries a scythe, she is a little miffed. Not only is he interrupting what turned out to be an already problematic kill, but he is asking her to give up her day job. To make matters worse, all of this is happening on Friday night, her night off. His reason? She is stepping on his territory. The few people acquainted with Emma know well that her job is the only thing she has. Despite her hatred for her occupation, killing by contract is all that she knows. When Death threatens her to stop wreaking havoc into his plans, he expects her to fight back, though maybe not quite as hard as she actually does. On the other hand, what he does not expect is to become infatuated with the gun-obsessed, sharp-mouthed girl. Not only that, but when she gets in trouble for a crime she committed because of him, he finds himself for the first time in his existence doing the exact opposite of his job; saving a human, instead of killing her.
