Across Dark Seas

Before she was the Pirate Queen Lady Vice, she was 18-year-old heiress Lady Avice Ferrers. Half-human, half-fae, and with rebellion in her blood, Avice chafes against society’s strict rules. Climbing trees, cursing, and running through the woods with young men are all strictly forbidden. Eloping with a man she’s fairly sure she loves must be the solution to all her problems. But her white knight quickly loses his lustre when they’re chased across the country by armed men and forced to flee in a pirate ship. With the wind in her hair, sea spray on her face, and magic stirring in her veins, the pirate life might be exactly the freedom she’s been longing for. But what’s freedom when her husband is still chained to tradition?

Beneath Black Sails

2020

Sometimes it takes a pirate to catch a pirate. With weather magic on her side, Lady Vice is the bane of the high seas, but she isn’t captain of her own ship. Yet. If she can persuade her captain to give her a command, she’ll be in charge of her own fate. To pay off his family’s debts, Knigh Blackwood hunts pirates for the Royal Navy. And he’s damn good at it. When the bounty on Lady Vice increases, he’s determined to make her face justice, even if that means using unorthodox methods. Forced to work together, neither can deny their mutual attraction. As they face battles at sea and schemes aboard their ship, they discover hints about a long-lost treasure that could be the answer to both their problems. But treasure isn’t the only thing buried. Secrets best forgotten lie in wait that could blast them apart. And the closer Vice and Knigh grow, the greater the threat – to her freedom and to his family. Because for one to succeed, the other must fail. If you love cunning heroes, feisty heroines, and enemies to lovers romance, you’ll love this new adult fantasy series that’s perfect for fans of Sarah J Maas and Miranda Honfleur.

Against Dark Tides

2020

Enemies. Lovers. Enemies once more. Now they must work together to survive. Notorious pirate Lady Vice has lost everything: ship, crew, and friends. Even her body has betrayed her, leaving her magic weak. To make matters worse, she’s stuck at sea with the man who stabbed her in the back. Knigh Blackwood is no longer a captain, no longer a pirate-hunter, no longer … anything. All he has left is the woman he betrayed, and she’d rather cut out his tongue with his own dagger than forgive him. There’s just one thing that might make up for what they’ve lost: Drake’s treasure. But they’re not the only ones searching for clues and the elusive X that marks the spot. Between them and the treasure stand a scheming duke, a former lover, and a sea monster thought the stuff of legends – not to mention Vice and Knigh’s complicated feelings for each other. If you love the scheming of Black Sails, the high seas adventure of Pirates of the Caribbean, and the romance of Holly Black, you won’t want to miss this heart-pounding new series. Buy AGAINST DARK TIDES now and escape to a magical world where enemies become allies and even the closest lovers can become the worst foes. As you might expect from pirates, these stories include mild cussing and steamy scenes.

Under Black Skies

2021

Enemies-to-lovers-to-enemies. Now they’re ‘just friends.’ Sure. Reunited with her crew, Vice is on the hunt for Drake’s treasure. But there’s a good reason it hasn’t been seen in two hundred years – it’s hidden by fiendish clues and deadly traps. To keep her crew – her family safe, she can’t afford a single misstep. That’s easier said than done with a distraction like Knigh Blackwood around. Knigh might not sail for the Navy anymore, but he’s found a new place in the world – home with Vice on the Venatrix. Even as he longs for more than ‘just friends’, he battles with demons from his past and one from his present. To save his family, he needs money. Lots of it. A legendary treasure would be the perfect solution. But traps and troublesome feelings aren’t the only dangers they face. When treachery strikes at the heart of pirate-kind, no one is safe: not their home, not Knigh’s family, not even the Pirate Queen herself. If you love the banter of From Blood and Ash and the steamy romance of A Court of Silver Flames, you’ll love this new adult fantasy series that fans are calling sexy and intense. Download UNDER BLACK SKIES today and set sail on an adventure where tentacles lurk in the deep, half a map leads the way, and even treasure isn’t what it seems. ——————————————- As you might expect from pirates, these stories include moderate cussing and steamy scenes.

Through Dark Storms

2022

No home. No hope. No safe harbours. Just one final clue. Castaway on a desert island, Vice has lost everything and everyone. If she’s going to live – truly live, she must not only fight to survive but also battle her inner demons. Only then can she escape her island… and her past. Without the woman he loves, Knigh is unravelling like a frayed rope. And around him, the refugee fleet that fled the battle of Nassau is low on food, water, and options. As the Royal Navy closes in, they must keep one step ahead or all they sacrificed will be for nothing. But finding their way back to each other isn’t the end of their problems. With thousands of lives at stake, they can’t run forever. They need the impossible: a home that’s safe from Mercia’s vengeance. Maybe, just maybe, the answers lie not in their future, but in the past and its long-lost treasure. If you love Sarah J Maas’s gut-wrenching romances and the adventure of Pirates of the Caribbean, you’ll love the breathtaking conclusion to this new adult fantasy series. Read Through Dark Storms today and discover a centuries-old mystery, an epic happily ever after, and what else besides the kraken lurks in the deep.
