Freedom is all Ruby ever wanted, and the one thing she cannot have. But a truly adventurous spirit cannot be stifled by the stuffy norms of the aristocracy. Descending from a long line of English privateers, the need for adventure flows through Ruby Berry’s veins. Unfortunately, her parents have other plans for her future. Betrothed to the stodgy Vice-Admiral of the Queen’s Navy, Ruby is destined for a life of obedience… until the day Callum Campbell walks through her door and captures her interest, and maybe even her heart. Noble born and bred, Callum Campbell is the laird of his clan by day and a devilish pirate by night. Loyal to the house of Stuart, he prefers to make his own rules as captain of his ship, plundering both treasure and women as he pleases- even if it marks him as an enemy to the queen. When business takes him to the coast of Cornwall, Callum discovers the greatest treasure of all, one he is unable to resist, but she is arranged to marry his greatest enemy. Ruby is desperate for one last escape before her wedding, and Callum is never short of schemes. But will he be able to give her up once their adventure on the high seas comes to an end? A steamy pirate novella that is sure to be an adventure!

Mia received her Bachelors in Health Science from CSUEB and recently completed her editing certificate with UC Berkeley. Currently, Mia is both self-published and small-press-published with Dragonblade Publishing. When Mia isn’t writing books or hanging with her family and pets at home, she loves to get lost in a good book, buy anything with pugs on it, and drink massive margaritas with her friends. Her happy place is the Renaissance Faire, where you can find her at the joust, rooting for the shirtless highlander in a kilt.
