About this ebook

PURE ENCHANTMENT--PURE ESCAPADES BOOK 3


**Award Finalist : "Fiction: Romance" category of the 2017 Best Book Awards**

An infamous creole sea captain...a beautiful quadroon stowaway--a forbidden love that surges with the tides.

     A rum privateer on the run, Captain Alex Lafitte wanders the Caribbean aboard his ship, the Enchanted Lady, avoiding his infamous cousins at all costs. But when his childhood love, Talia Barberry, begs him to save her adopted son from the New Orleans authorities during the slave rebellions. Alex welcomes the little slave boy he once owned with open arms. However, Marcus is now a man grown—with a secret: he's snuck the woman he loves onto Alex's ship.

     The last thing Zaria St. Claire wanted was to sail to the islands hidden in the cargo hold of a ship. After her white father's death during the slave rebellions in New Orleans, she has no choice but to live now and fight another day. However, she never thought she'd find a demi-god of a man standing half-clad on the deck of the ship. Alex's strong, male presence ignites a fire deep within her soul, and as their voyage progresses, Zaria can no longer hide her feelings for the Creole.

     When Alex discovers the beautiful quadroon stowaway on the deck of his ship, he thought he'd died and gone to heaven. Zaria's keen intellect and coppery eyes drawn him in like a bee to honey. But there's one problem: the girl is Marcus'. Struggling to keep his distance, Alex fights an inner battle of love and desire that unravels when Zaria risks her life to save his ship from a British brig. He wants her. And Alex vows that he'll do whatever it takes to protect Zaria from her past and make her his—no matter what the law says.

Author

Auria Jourdain

History buff, Francophile, and hopeless romantic-- the perfect mixture for writing romance! I have fond childhood memories of reading on quiet afternoons. I loved the "happily ever after" sweet teen romances, but I quickly plunged into the world of historical romance--my get-away-from-real-life transporter. Add in a degree in Political Studies with six years of French--twenty years later, I found a new career. With three published works, I'm still trying to decide which sub-genre is my favorite. I started with historical romances, and two of the six, Pure of Heart and Pure Temptation, are now published. My first YA novel, Spirit of the Northwoods, was released in April of 2016 for my 17 year old autistic son during Autism Awareness month, hoping to spread familiarity about the daily struggles that an autistic person endures. Silence the Northwoods, the first book of my Romantic Suspense trilogy, will be released on January 21, 2017. A spin-off of Spirit of the Northwoods, it has many of the same secondary characters, but it’s strictly for adults. I have a New Adult novel I’m working on for NaNaWriMo 2016, and I’d love to try my hand at a sweet romance YA series in the future. I live in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan with my husband of 21 years and my four children. I spend the long winters plotting and scheming my next book, and in the mild summers, my family and I spend every waking moment we can hiking and kayaking the Northwoods. Living fifteen miles from the shores of Lake Superior, my muse is often piqued by the awe-inspiring beauty that surrounds me. I live where I play, and I can't imagine a more fitting place for me!
