Adventure E-BOOK

On a cliff, high above the mighty Atlantic Ocean, a spinster gazes out across the sea and dreams of adventure. The privileged daughter of the one of richest men in Colonial Maine, Denise Boucher Waite has lived a sheltered life, save for the books that she devours and the sweet memories of the boy who kissed her once, then disappeared leaving behind a broken promise and a broken heart.

Mathias Charles Alden is coming home to Maine after twenty years at sea. He sails under America's flag as the captain of the prosperous merchant ship, America's Own. Only a few old friends in Maine know that he is also Captain Sin, the most feared Pirate of the Eastern Shore, commanding the fierce crew of the Golden Lion. He's traveled around the world, amassing a fortune that would beggar many kings, putting fear into the crews of British, French and Spanish ships from the Caribbean Sea to the Indian Ocean, but especially the Atlantic and the coastal waters of America. He's thirty-five, weary, and longing for peace. And perhaps one more kiss from the girl he left behind.

Denise and Mathias find each other on that first night, and the memory of love that has smoldered in their hearts for two decades, begins to burn. Night after night, they meet, as the pirate lays claim to his greatest prize: the passion of the only woman he has ever loved. Their plans to create a life together are thwarted, as Denise's father betroths her to a man who disgusts her, rather than let her marry Mathias.

To rescue Denise, Mathias must put aside his dream of peace, and conjure a daring plan that only the fierce Captain Sin can accomplish.

Set in post-Revolutionary America, Adventure, is the first of the historical pirate romances in Morgan Malone's new series: The Pirates Of The Eastern Shore.
