A story of misadventure. Charles Wilmore, bored, a little down on his luck and with plenty of time to spare, is tempted to take passage on a sailing trip across the North Sea. Unfortunately for Charles, the roguish ways of his acquaintance who owns the yacht begin to catch up with them as they reach the Thames, and events take a decidedly uncomfortable turn for the worse.

Lips White As Snow by TiNyDiAmOnD101

-The third extract from the casefiles of D.I. Hawes and D.S. Gray- Edmund Gray was supposed to be on holiday. Well-if a beautiful American private detective invites you to accompany her on a cruise of the Mediterranean, you don't exactly refuse, do you? But after a sequence of unfortunate events involving a paper napkin, a magnifying glass, and a bad sense of direction, Edmund Gray was back in Oxford, and back on another case. One attempt had already been made to discover the location of the biggest drugs hideout in Southern England. But after an organised raid on an empty manor house resulted in embarrassment for Oxfordshire Police, the case is turned over to Hawes and Gray to see if they can make any sense of it.

The Moroccan Run (Draft 05) by ValiantRegal

Three party-mad, cash-strapped friends deliver a yacht to Morocco for their London gangster landlord to settle a rent debt. Ill-equipped, they battle constantly with the open seas and each other. A coming of age story that deals with conformity, entitlement and enlightenment - not to mention the need to party!

Venture to Uncertainty (#1) by tarishannon18

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 story will become free on July 5, 2023. They will stop at nothing. So Charlotte won't either. Desperate to save her family from the organized crime syndicate that is the Keene family, our heroine has devised a plan.

Dying her hair and taking on the role of the rich heiress lost in London, she infiltrates the city's most powerful family in an attempt to bring them down from within. Though, despite the knowledge she's gained of the elite from living with the Langley's for months, she soon realizes that nothing could have prepared her for George Keene or, perhaps worse, his deceptively handsome son, Camden. Alone and with only her wits to get her through, will she manage a feat no one has attempted before? Or will she fall prey to the dangerous charms of the Keenes once and for all? This is book four of the Langley & Porter Mystery Series. Content warning: This story contains violence.
