When
Jaime takes to the sea, it's not for money or for pleasure: it's for revenge.
Leaving his peaceful life on land behind is the only step he can take when his
future is brutally destroyed and his heart is shattered.
Captain
Gareth West is a feared pirate with a reputation for kidnapping and ransoming
men and women. He's also known for bedding them so well that no one has a
reason to complain. However, a terrible incident has left him scarred and
reluctant to become involved with anyone ever again...until one day he comes
upon a shipwreck.
When
Jaime's ship is attacked by pirates and he is left for dead, Gareth sees an
opportunity to banish the ghosts from his head. He decides to take the young
man on board and use him as the prostitute that Jaime pretends to be. But
Gareth quickly determines that his attractive captive is not a whore despite
his apparent eagerness. Though he responds to Gareth as no lover ever has,
there's a fire in him that worries Gareth. Jaime is a dangerous mystery, and
Gareth knows it's essential that he learn his secret.
But
he's caught off guard when Jaime's secret turns out to be the very nightmare
that Gareth is running from.
Excerpt:
"You'll sleep like this with me every
night," West told him. "I maintain my word that none of my crew will
touch you."
"I hope you keep that word,"
Jaime muttered. He was frustrated by West's hold of his hand. It kept Jaime trapped
against him. He tried lightly tugging. "I sleep better on my back."
"Is that so? Then we'll break you of
that habit. Let's begin now."
To Jaime's consternation, West released
his hand only to roll onto his other side so that he faced Jaime. The pirate
grinned playfully. "Hello, sweet. Better this way?"
Jaime scooted back, hating himself for the
twitch of his cock now that the other man was near enough for their organs to
touch. "No."
He didn't like West's knowing grin. He
didn't like how charismatic the man was. If he attacked Jaime it would make
everything so much easier and clearer, but West was content to tease and play
with him. Jaime hated it. He hated himself.
"You're shy. I like that," West
admitted.
"I'm not accustomed to sharing a bed
with a notorious pirate captain."
"You flatter my ego. I like that,
too." But West's smile wavered a bit, and something haunted and uncertain
softened the corners of his eyes. "Been some time since I've heard
something sweet."
Jaime wanted to scoff at the obvious lie,
but he held his tongue.
"Believe it or not, you're something
special," the pirate went on. He reached out and with his forefinger,
traced a line down the bridge of Jaime's nose. "You're my treat."
"For good behavior?" Jaime
couldn't help the derision that leaked into his voice.
Thankfully West didn't appear to pick up
on it. He tapped Jaime lightly on the tip of his nose. "Aye, you're my
reward. Turns out even loathsome pirates need something nice in their lives
every so often."
Again, a shade of regret, or perhaps
self-recrimination, touched West's face. It softened his angles and humanized
him. Jaime wished he could unsee it.
