The pirate princess
In the swashbuckling world of high seas and hidden treasures, Princess Alira Buckley stands out not only for her royal lineage but for her fierce spirit and daring heart. As the teenage daughter of the notorious pirate Captain Buckley, Alira has grown up with the wind in her hair and the thrill of adventure in her veins. But amidst the plunder and piracy, Alira harbors a secret that even the most skilled sailor would struggle to navigate. Her heart belongs to Prince Derrick of Treewood-a nobleman from a distant kingdom whose charm and kindness have stolen her breath away. Their worlds are as different as the ocean is from the forest, and her father's strict decree makes it clear: no princess of the sea is to fall for a landlocked prince. Captain Buckley demands that Alira's suitor must be a pirate, not a prince, and the idea of a romantic alliance with Derrick is dismissed outright. Undeterred by her father's stern warnings, Alira's yearning for Derrick only grows stronger. One moonlit night, under the cloak of darkness and with her father fast asleep, Alira makes a daring decision that could alter the course of her life forever. Disguised and determined, she slips away from her pirate ship and makes her way to the opulent palace of Treewood. As Alira and Derrick's clandestine meetings unfold amidst the grandeur of the palace, their bond deepens, revealing not only their shared love but the tensions between their disparate worlds. Together, they must navigate the challenges of their secret romance while Alira grapples with her father's expectations and her own desire for a love that defies tradition. In The Pirate Princess, embark on a thrilling journey filled with romance, rebellion, and the unbreakable quest for true love. Will Alira and Derrick find a way to bridge their worlds, or will their love be swept away by the tides of duty and destiny?Complete

Instead of planning her wedding, Ana is preparing for war. ***** Captain Alestair "Cade" Kincade has renounced piracy, but he can't yet forgo being a soldier. Despite the risks and against his beloved's wishes, Cade joins the British fleet at the Battle of the Chesapeake and disappears in the melee.

Fearing he's become a prisoner of war in the American Revolution, she uses her few remaining allies to attempt a rescue.

Dead people are pulling strings. Archer Kingsley is playing chess, and although he may have the upper hand, his opponent hides behind a veil of familiarity that just can't be placed by seemingly anyone.

Archer is determined to find the map to Myria's chest before it falls into the wrong hands, but he's not entirely sure what happens when he finds it. And above all, he's intent on figuring out who the mastermind behind this game is.

It is not standalone and requires the knowledge of the first book.Complete
Broken Sails: A Hunt for Silver
To hunt a legend, she must become one. Ophelia Heimes is a pirate forged from a legacy of lies. Disguised as a noblewoman, she infiltrates the world of Lucien Vale, a brilliant but ruthless captain, who sees in her the perfect figurehead for his own empire. Bound by a shared goal and a dangerous attraction, they must navigate a sea of betrayal where the greatest threat may be the truth they uncover about each other. But as their hunt becomes a battle for control of the Caribbean itself, Ophelia must decide if she will remain the monster vengeance demands, become the legend her bloodline destined her to be, or something else entirely. (Part of the Broken Sails series, however it can be read as a standalone book) Content Notice: Broken Sails is a story set in the brutal world of the 18th-century Golden Age of Piracy. In keeping with the historical context, this novel contains mature themes and graphic content, including: intense violence, sexual assault and harassment, kidnapping, substance abuse, and depictions of trauma and post-traumatic stress. These elements are integral to the characters' journeys and the historical setting, but reader discretion is advised.
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. This is book one in the Venture Series. It is standalone and can be read without any prior knowledge.
