"Of course I know you are not the true Governor's daughter. Do you take me for a fool as the rest?" He chuckled darkly.

Raven stared at him in the dim glow of the lamp, contemplating her dwindling options.

"So, you plan to expose me to the Captain then?" She inquired.

The man shook his head and laughed.

"And what would that accomplish? I am a man of gain Miss, not useless death."

She glared at him with confusion.

"Then what is it you are seeking?" She asked.

His eyes sparkled with excitement and his grin turned mischievous. 

"Hows about a kiss as payment?"


******



Raven is a young ward raised to be a companion to the Governor's daughter Linda. They grow up like sisters, though both of them know Raven can never aspire to stay by her side forever.

One day while on a ship to England to meet Linda's betrothed, they are attacked by a notorious band of pirates. Raven disguises herself to save her dearest friend from capture, but what will she do aboard a pirate ship where the Captain is expecting to be paid a hefty ransom for the return of a girl who is not the true Governor's heir?

Things seem to get even more complicated when Seth, the witty and troublesome second in command, finds out her true identity and starts blackmailing her for secrecy in the form of kisses and further embarrassing gestures.

Will Raven out do them all and return home safely, or will she be bested by the worst of them?

Marissa is one of three siblings of the head family of New Hope. Everything is as perfect as it could be in a world where mystical beings and humans are on the verge of another war. Until her father arranges a marriage to an older shape-shifting sea dragon pirate, all of her plans, from her career to her personal life, are now dead in the water. Levi is a world-famous pirate, mainly for how his family came into power. He wants to establish lasting peace between all of the clans, even at the cost of his freedom. It's easier said than done when his family pressures him to keep to tradition, and infighting may destroy the treaty before it can even begin. When they embark on this relationship, will they see past their differences and save the country from another war? Could they fall in love along the way, or will they sacrifice their hearts and freedom for the sake of peace? *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* "I'm told love doesn't have a place in business or duty," Marissa said with a smile. "Even at my age, I find that a hard pill to swallow," Rhys said, pouring himself another glass. "I would imagine at your age, there's a lot of things hard to do," Marissa giggled. "What experience do you have with older men," Rhys asked, laughing. He leaned back into the couch, stretching his arms along the back. His seated stance widened. Marissa sat back as well and angled her body towards him. "None, just a guess from what I hear," Marissa said, finishing her drink. "Well, on behalf of all old men, I take offense. Especially since you've never been with one. We're quite capable, more so than the younger ones," Rhys said, filling her glass. "That's something I would need to experience for myself then," Marissa said. "It's possible," Rhys said. "Was that an offer," Marissa asked. "It's whatever you want it to be," Rhys said. *~*~*~*~* COMPLETED

I could just make out dark tattoos poking out of the white collar of his uniform, brushing against his sharp jawline. His dark brown hair, do dark it was nearly black, looked as if he had sat in front of the mirror styling it, or perhaps he had just got out of bed.

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.
