SECOND PLACE WINNER OF THE NIGHTTIME AWARDS FOR ACTION/ADVENTURE}
Evie's father is a traitor, but she doesn't see it that way. He didn't desert, no. Something terrible happened to him, she just knows it. But she can tell you the name of a true traitor: her would-be crew mate Myles. He's lazy, he's self serving, and he's given up on the only family he's ever known.
The choices of two young pirates set in motion a greater test of right and wrong, while their Captain does all he can to protect them and the world they love. The King is dying, and his daughter is next in line. The Queen is suspected of foul play, and disappears. The pirate league squabbles and a power struggle ensues. Families break apart and new alliances form. The only question is, who's side you will be on.

1670, Caribbean Sea. She's the daughter of a legendary pirate. He's a Spanish captain. Their countries are at war. Their fathers killed each other. And they were destined to follow on their steps. But sometimes destiny isn't written in stone: it's written in the deep blue of the sea. A story full of adventures at sea, set in the thick of the war between Spain and the pirates for control over the New World. And a different look at the challenge of being a woman in a world ruled by men with an iron fist. At age fifteen, all Marina dreams of is sailing, but women are banned from the ships berthing in Tortuga. And when she finally makes it, her ship is attacked by the champion of the Spanish Armada, a young captain fighting pirates to avenge his father. That battle pushes Marina back to the sea, yearning to take it back on the young captain, who turns out to be no other than the son of her father's sworn enemy. All they want is to kill each other, and they'll sail the Caribbean Sea tirelessly until they come across each other. An encounter they were destined to since they were born, and that will change their lives forever.

Chattan Bride
READERS' FAVORITE FIVE STAR AWARD WINNER - As the daughter of a strong English baron, Isabel is compelled by peace negotiations to become the child-bride of the enemy, the powerful, handsome and fierce Scottish Laird of the Chattan clan, Alysandir. Her youth and his distaste for a marriage alliance with his enemy render her strenuous efforts to win the approval of her husband almost futile. Even though she failed him in a hopelessly complex situation, why would he allow his former fiancé to get away at an attempt to kill her? When her dying father calls her home to England, she is forced to be braver than her years as her exiled, murderous half-brother, Gilbert, attempts to wrest control of Bamborough Castle, their family home, from her father, who was determined to never allow Gilbert the inheritance. Could Alysandir, her wizened warrior husband soften her battle-hardened heart, protect her from her treacherous half-brother and win back her love? Growing up amid the border wars taught Isabel to be strong, cautious and adaptable. Fighting in those wars made Alysandir inflexible, distrustful but patient and brave. Could he secure his lands and keep his new bride safe from those who wished to harm her, or even protect her from herself? After breaking her, could he gather her back to himself and teach her to trust him before her half-brother and brother-in-law kill her over a piece of borderland?Complete

But what happens when she meets her sister-girlfriend-younger sister-babysitter-wait, did I get that right? Enter Nyla Thornton. The date Deck forgot about but somehow still gets. But when the night takes a turn, exposing Deck's insecurities and childish tendencies, things don't go quite as planned.

"Actually, it's Deck and Nyla," Deck whines, nudging Nyla aside to claim the spotlight. "Nah, I think the narrator got it right the first time. Welcome to the Nyla Show," Nyla smirks, shoving Deck away with a well-placed hip bump. "It's a book, dude," Deck grumbles. "And you're an extra, baby," Nyla teases, running her fingers through her thick curls as Deck glares. Deck shrugs, then grins. "Guess it's my princess way or the highway." She wraps her arms around Nyla's waist, tackling her in an onslaught of kisses.Complete
