Book excerpt: Immortal pirate Drake Cole has a reputation in Savannah for his custom woodworking and historical restorations, but his work has grown into an obsession. He's become a stranger to his crew since the Sea Dog sank in 1795. None of them know his painful secret. A young stowaway went down with the ship, one that Drake swore a blood oath to protect. The ghost of a young boy, lost at sea over two hundred years ago, leads local medium, Heather Storrey right to Drake's door. He saved her life before, and now she has a chance to return the favor, but how can she protect him from a curse that no one can see? A dark coven possesses the figurehead from the Flying Dutchman, and if Heather and the immortal Sea Dog crew don't locate the relic soon, Drake may be lost to them forever. Heather has seen the passionate man behind the veil of guilt, and she's determined to free him from his self-imposed prison, and persuade this pirate to love again.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some buccaneers gain their reputations with brutal acts of cutthroat violence, and others by earning excess amounts of gold, but I've made my mark among rogues as one of the most revered navigators of the seas. The value placed upon my knowledge allowed me to set my own terms, and with my success I planned on living out my days as free as the winds that filled my sails. But then I fell in love. And that changed everything. Now, don't go thinking I'm some soft-hearted lubber boy. Knowing that loving Charlotte Wetherby would hinder my freedom, I tried to resist her, but my own stupidity chased her into another man's arms. That foppish pirate captain's desire for a prize my skills alone could find, gave me an opportunity to get her back, but along the hunt I ended up charting a course to a treasure I'd never planned to seek. So this is my blasted ol' love story. My style may be rough, and my method of persuasion a bit tarnished, but my ability to achieve any heading is one that would never lose its luster. -Sterling Bentley-

Download or read book Pirates written by Peter Lehr and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2019-07-16 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A global account of pirates and their modus operandi from the middle ages to the present day In the twenty-first century piracy has regained a central place in Western culture, thanks to a surprising combination of Johnny Depp and the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise as well as the dramatic rise of modern-day piracy around Somalia and the Horn of Africa. In this global history of the phenomenon, maritime terrorism and piracy expert Peter Lehr casts fresh light on pirates. Ranging from the Vikings and Wako pirates in the Middle Ages to modern day Somali pirates, Lehr delves deep into what motivates pirates and how they operate. He also illuminates the state's role in the development of piracy throughout history: from privateers sanctioned by Queen Elizabeth to pirates operating off the coast of Africa taking the law into their own hands. After exploring the structural failures which create fertile ground for pirate activities, Lehr evaluates the success of counter-piracy efforts--and the reasons behind its failures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BOOK 1: SATAN'S SLAVE Sailing toward America, Lady Caroline Kendrick is awakened from a sound sleep to a commotion. She is hauled to the top deck where she finds herself immediately the prisoner of the infamous pirate, Satan. Lo and behold, she is startled to realize the notorious rogue is none other than Charles Somerset, a man she thought a courtier and a gentleman back in London. It appears that his polite manners were a façade, her abduction the entire purpose of the raid, and he is determined to have her one way or the other... Charles would have preferred to woo the lovely Caroline in a conventional way, but there is an advantage to having another identity and the flamboyant Satan would never deign to accept no for an answer. Her capture is just the beginning in a campaign to ultimately win the woman of his dreams in the most carnal way possible... BOOK 2: BETWEEN A RAKE AND A HARD PLACE Kidnapped and locked in a harem, Lady Cassandra is bewildered by the turn of events in her formerly ordered life, and even more so when a stranger appears and manages a daring rescue from her sexual imprisonment. Back on her way to England, she has no idea what to make of the enigmatic Mr. Ives, but she does know one thing....he is the most fascinating man she has ever encountered. Christopher Ives walks the line between two worlds. Of aristocratic birth, he still has made his own way by both necessity and inclination. Yes, his occupation involves danger, but bedding the daughter of a powerful man is pushing the edge of even his recklessness. Yet the earl's daughter is too ravishing to resist... A rakish buccaneer and a headstrong beauty battle an attraction that might just ruin them both... BOOK 3: THE DEVIL'S LAGOON Beau Fallon, Lord Auberville, has decided to flee England. It is much easier than facing his ever-growing fascination with the beautiful Lady Hannah. He isn't interested in marriage—far from it—and she is a very eligible young woman. Instead he has decided to pursue the legend of the Devil's Lagoon, a place so deadly none have ever returned... Stowing away on Lord Auberville's ship is the most audacious thing she's ever done, but Hannah is determined to find out once and for all how he feels about her. Can she seduce him and break that cool exterior? An innocent, she has no idea, but she has always craved an adventure and tropical seas and a handsome lord might just fulfill her romantic dreams... One independent aristocratic lady and an enigmatic spy travel south together into an erotic journey of both love and danger.

Download or read book Pirate Hunting written by Benerson Little and published by Potomac Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2010-09-30 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For thousands of years pirates, privateers, and seafaring raiders have terrorized the ocean voyager and coastal inhabitant, plundering ship and shore with impunity. From the victim's point of view, these attackers were not the rebellious, romantic rulers of Neptune's realm, but savage beasts to be eradicated, and those who went to sea to stop them were heroes. Engaging and meticulously detailed, Pirate Hunting chronicles the fight against these plunderers from ancient times to the present and illustrates the array of tactics and strategies that individuals and governments have employed to secure the seas. Benerson Little lends further dimension to this unending battle by including the history of piracy and privateering, ranging from the Mycenaean rovers to the modern pirates of Somalia. He also introduces associated naval warfare; maritime commerce and transportation; the development of speed under oar, sail, and steam; and the evolution of weaponry. More than just a vivid account of the war that seafarers and pirates have waged, Pirate Hunting is invaluable reading in a world where acts of piracy are once more a significant threat to maritime commerce and voyagers. It will appeal to readers interested in the history of piracy, anti-piracy operations, and maritime, naval, and military history worldwide.
