Venture to Uncertainty (#1)
It's a deadly plan, and it goes like this: First, become a crew member of the Avourienne, a pirate ship notorious for its charismatic captain and wicked ways. Second, trick the ship's cunning strategist, famous for winning every game she's ever played, into believing a delicately spun lie. Third, get close enough to their tyrant king to put a knife through him. Deadly doesn't quite describe such a plan. In fact, inconceivable may be the better word. But Archer Kingsley has a knack for such things, and he feels he's going to pull off this plan with the ease he does most everything. Perhaps he's not quite aware of the absolute hell that's about to break loose, but truthfully, it's so much better that way. Because true adventures are born from uncertainty. * Cover by xxsoteria Mature themes you may encounter in this book: - harsh language (it's a pirate book) - violence (it's a pirate book) - sexual implications (it's a PIRATE book) However, this story does not violate any of Wattpad's mature guidelines and therefore is not marked as such.

The 3 Tides to find her
She didn't think she mattered. Not in a world that called her too loud, too soft, too much, or not enough. Forty, overlooked, and worn thin by heartbreak, she boards a cruise she never meant to win-seven nights on a ship she never expected would change her life. But fate has other plans. Three mysterious men. One missing girl. A dance beneath the stars. And a darkness that's been watching from the shadows. Solace. Axel. Jude. Each man is pulled toward her without knowing why. Each carries secrets that could unravel everything. As the ship sails through moonlit waters, tension deepens, sparks ignite, and a dangerous game begins-one that might cost more than just hearts. Caught between who she was and who she's becoming, she'll have to decide: Will she let herself be seen? Loved? Chosen? Because someone else is watching. And they don't want her to survive. A romantic suspense full of mystery, devotion, and the quiet power of finally being enough.Complete
