By Claire Westwood

The second book in The Pirates’ Deal series!

When a crooked butler made off with Ana’s noble title and inheritance, she was determined to pursue him and get back what was rightfully hers. But hiring Captain Jack and his band of pirates may not have been the best choice. Ana has spent the last couple days of the voyage locked inside the Captain’s quarters - and used as his own personal plaything, doing whatever he demands for his own pleasure.

But Ana knows that she won’t have to put up with it for long, as the ship closes in. Each day brings them closer to the fleeing vessel carrying the thief - and besides, Captain Jack isn’t all bad. He may be vulgar and common, but he’s also roguishly handsome, and he makes her feel things she’s never experienced before. In fact, Ana’s not quite sure how to regard this devilish pirate. For now, she’s willing to let him use her...

The second chapter of The Pirates’ Deal, this sexy pirate thriller is guaranteed to leave bosoms heaving and masts at full sail! Keep out of the reach of cabin boys - this is for mature audiences only!
