THE PRIVATEER by Danielle ThornThe reign of piracy is over in the Caribbean, or so it’s believed until diamonds are discovered in Brazil. Despite the cover-up, Captain Julius Bertrand begins to hear whispers. The Spanish guardacostas are dumping log books, and a new French pirate is on the prowl. Distracted by an avaricious woman he could never love, and the beautiful Kate O’Connell who doesn’t need him, he tries to untangle the web of mysterious cargo someone in the New World wants kept secret. When Bertrand’s pirating past returns with the explosive force of a sweeping broadside, he finds he must sacrifice everything his respectable life has brought him, in order to save what matters most.

Excerpt from THE PRIVATEER:
"You were saying? Lyne?"
"Yes, this Lyne fellow. Repugnant. Murdered every captain he captured."
"Dreadful," Kate encouraged, wondering what this had to do with Captain Bertrand.
"He had a hand in that, he did," Moore said.
"Bertrand sailed with such a man?" asked Kate, her eyes large.
"Oh no," the surgeon assured her. "He made possible the capture, you see. Provided information that did the fellow in."
"And he’s a merchant?"
"Ah, yes," said Moore. "He ships sugar and brings in other commodities we could not do without."
"I see. So he is not a pirate or anything like that?"
Moore’s glance told her she had used up his patience. "No, but he has connections and has sailed in these waters all his life."
"But no sinister connections," Kate finished dully, but here Moore’s eyes gleamed and he gave a furtive glance through the louvers. "No one quite knows," he whispered.
