Pirates
by Linda Lael MillerBestselling author Linda Lael Miller sweeps readers away—and through time itself—when a thoroughly modern woman encounters a dangerous, dashing eighteenth-century buccaneer. The result is a sensuous, joyous, utterly heartwarming tale of love.Phoebe Turlow needs to get out of Seattle and forget about the man she just divorced, her dwindling finances, and the lonely nights that stretch ahead of her. But she can&’t foresee what awaits her on Paradise Island... Duncan Rourke is known to historians as &“the pirate patriot.&” He&’s been dead for two centuries—or at least he&’s supposed to be, until Phoebe Turlow steps out of a van, into a run-down island hotel, and into his world. Neither Phoebe nor her sexy pirate can envision the glorious adventure that is about to unfold. They understand only that they have found each other, and a grand passion, across the chasm of time...and they fear only the moment when the magic they have discovered may vanish. Passionate, emotional, and completely entrancing, Pirates will steal your heart.
Pirates of London Series: 3 Book Box-Set
by Annabel WolfeBOOK 1: SATAN'S SLAVE Sailing toward America, Lady Caroline Kendrick is awakened from a sound sleep to a commotion. She is hauled to the top deck where she finds herself immediately the prisoner of the infamous pirate, Satan. Lo and behold, she is startled to realize the notorious rogue is none other than Charles Somerset, a man she thought a courtier and a gentleman back in London. It appears that his polite manners were a façade, her abduction the entire purpose of the raid, and he is determined to have her one way or the other... Charles would have preferred to woo the lovely Caroline in a conventional way, but there is an advantage to having another identity and the flamboyant Satan would never deign to accept no for an answer. Her capture is just the beginning in a campaign to ultimately win the woman of his dreams in the most carnal way possible... BOOK 2: BETWEEN A RAKE AND A HARD PLACE Kidnapped and locked in a harem, Lady Cassandra is bewildered by the turn of events in her formerly ordered life, and even more so when a stranger appears and manages a daring rescue from her sexual imprisonment. Back on her way to England, she has no idea what to make of the enigmatic Mr. Ives, but she does know one thing....he is the most fascinating man she has ever encountered. Christopher Ives walks the line between two worlds. Of aristocratic birth, he still has made his own way by both necessity and inclination. Yes, his occupation involves danger, but bedding the daughter of a powerful man is pushing the edge of even his recklessness. Yet the earl's daughter is too ravishing to resist... A rakish buccaneer and a headstrong beauty battle an attraction that might just ruin them both... BOOK 3: THE DEVIL'S LAGOON Beau Fallon, Lord Auberville, has decided to flee England. It is much easier than facing his ever-growing fascination with the beautiful Lady Hannah. He isn't interested in marriage—far from it—and she is a very eligible young woman. Instead he has decided to pursue the legend of the Devil's Lagoon, a place so deadly none have ever returned... Stowing away on Lord Auberville's ship is the most audacious thing she's ever done, but Hannah is determined to find out once and for all how he feels about her. Can she seduce him and break that cool exterior? An innocent, she has no idea, but she has always craved an adventure and tropical seas and a handsome lord might just fulfill her romantic dreams... One independent aristocratic lady and an enigmatic spy travel south together into an erotic journey of both love and danger.

by Sandra SookooEin von der Gesellschaft verstoßener Mann, der auf Lebenszeit verflucht ist... Alexander Laurence Hayes - 6. Duke of Everington - hat ein schreckliches Geheimnis: Er ist gezwungen, sich jede Nacht in eine Bestie zu verwandeln. Doch als er auf einen geheimen Gentleman-Club in London stößt, der sich an Männer mit seinem Leiden wendet, bekommt er vielleicht endlich Antworten. Es spielt keine Rolle, dass die Begegnung mit einer schönen Frau sein Verlangen geweckt haben könnte, denn er hat dringendere Interessen, als mit ihr zu schlafen. Das mag sein. Eine Frau, die von Liebe träumt, aber der Magie skeptisch gegenübersteht... Eleanor Riverton hat es nicht leicht mit der Fantasie. Als Schwester eines Bow Street Runner verlässt sie sich auf Fakten, nicht auf Märchen. Als sie also von etwas, das sie für einen Wolf hält, durch die Straßen von Mayfair gejagt wird und in derselben Nacht einen Mann trifft, der behauptet, ein Herzog zu sein, ist ihre Neugierde geweckt. Die Tatsache, dass er splitternackt und wunderschön ist, macht keinen Unterschied, und auch nicht, dass ihr erster Instinkt darin besteht, ihn zu erschießen. Möglicherweise. Gegensätze ziehen sich an, Angst und Hoffnung prallen aufeinander... Mit dem neuen Wissen, dass der Kuss der wahren Liebe den Fluch brechen wird, macht sich Alexander auf, die Frau zu bezaubern, die er gejagt hat. Während die Anziehungskraft sofort aufflammt, wird seine Bestie nicht kampflos aufgeben, und Eleanor ist außer sich, als sie das Geheimnis des Herzogs entdeckt. Nur wenn sie zusammenarbeiten, werden sie die Freiheit erlangen, die sie beide suchen... es sei denn, sie bringen sich vorher gegenseitig um. Auf jeden Fall.
