On the dangerous seas of the Caribbean, pirates roam about, committing almost any crime possible it seems.
Dalia Jones, daughter of pirate Captain Samson Jones, knows this very well. As far as she knows actually, pirates and crime have been in her family tree and blood for many years. Although her father forbids it, she wants to join in on all the action and is determined to make her ancestors proud one day.
Hunt Simmons wants to make his ancestors proud too, which according to his mentor, he already is. Hunt comes from a long line of honored and disciplined soldiers of the government.
One night, these two characters' worlds are thrown together when a job done by Jones's crew goes wrong. In a hurried escape, Hunt somehow becomes a captive of the pirates. To make the members of his family tree proud, Hunt must escape the wanted savages. To achieve her goal of proving she's a strong pirate, Dalia must chase him down and get him back. In their attempts, the two from different ways of life, get stranded.
Both of them have plans to get back home, but they can only do it together. Just because they team up, doesn't mean that they both trust each other completely, though. They might grow close over what they do and learn on the journey, but they are still enemies by logic. No one knows what will happen when they get where they need to, but that ends up not being their biggest worry.
Read this to join Dalia and Hunt on their travels as they experience many struggles and learn about the truth beyond the Shadow.

Mistah Captain Jack Sparrow
At one time, I used to be a pirate. I used to be as free as the birds that fly over the ocean. I never followed rules or laws or anything like that. Of course, everyone has a code they live by. I did have pirate code, but... now that I'm no longer a pirate, I don't live by it anymore. Don't get me wrong... I don't mind not being on the ocean all the time, but I do miss it. I loved being free and truly not really ever having to listen to someone tell me what to do all the time. It's not like that now... I had to give up being a pirate, when I almost got killed. I mean, trust me, every single day was a fight for my life, but... that time was different. My parents both got killed protecting me, so I decided to give it up. Of course, I still have my skills, but... I'm a bit rusty. Anyways, here I am just living my life on the land, with my "brother", Will. He's not really my brother. It's a cover we used a long time ago, so I could get into the city. His father knew my parents. That's why he helped me. He found out about them getting killed, so... he helped me out. We are close, though. He is like a brother to me, and I consider him a brother. Moving on, here I am just... wasting my days away with Will. All we do is sit in his shop and make weapons. However... everything changes when an infamous pirate shows up out of nowhere. Everything turns upside down, after I meet... "Mistah Captain Jack Sparrow..." or.. Mistah J, as I like to call him, just to get on his nerves....Complete
A Pet for the Dragons
❝Three dragons and their naughty little pet.❞ There's a rule in piracy - never fuck with the Dragons because they burn you alive. Literally. I'm not a fan of following rules, especially when the Dragons' hoarding obsession makes them the wealthiest patrons. I shouldn't be surprised when I'm kidnapped by the dragons upon failing to fulfil my end of an important deal. As if my luck couldn't be more of a bitch to me, I get kidnapped by none other than the three Dragons from one of the most powerful clans in the Arctic- Radrox, Ivret and Zorge. Now that they have me, I must pay for my failed deal in cash or kind. But that's not what they seem to be interested in, especially with the dwindling population of dragon ladies and their dangerous obsession with me. Those three dragons are definitely going to burn me but with a different kind of fire. ~ It can be read as a stand-alone book. Themes: slow burn, some BDSM, smut (loads of it), dirty talking, knotting, breeding, reverse harem, romance, kink exploration, action, world-building and a purely character-driven plot with wholesome and humorous moments :) What's not in the book? - Grape. Even though there's a power imbalance between the FL and the MLs, whatever happens between them and her involves consent. No cheating. The MLs don't do each other in this book. ~ COMPLETE NEXT BOOK - A Plaything for the Dragons PREQUEL OF THIS BOOK - Her Alpha Mates
