The Pirate's Duty

by Katherine Bone

Overview

Innkeeper Oriana Thorpe is a smuggler's daughter who has been hardened by a legacy she cannot escape. She has risked everything, including her safety, in her attempts to break free, going so far as to challenge her evil pirate brother, Charles, in order to save a lady and her maid from his wrath. Determined to atone for his villainy, Oriana distributes the blood money he left behind to widows and orphans living nearby. But when threatening letters promising retribution begin to arrive from Charles, she suspects one or more of her customers may be her despicable brother's spies. Yet one haunted man promises to protect her, and she finds herself taking the greatest risk of all--falling in love.

Captain Pierce Walsingham should have died when his ship was destroyed by the notorious smuggler Captain Carnage. Instead, Pierce was pulled from the water by the Robin Hood of Cornwall, a pirate known only as the Black Regent. In gratitude, Pierce accepts the Regent's offer to take over the man's role, allowing his name to be added to the list of the dead and vowing to protect the beautiful innkeeper who saved his sister Chloe's life. Unfortunately, Oriana is also Carnage's next of kin, and the smuggler has sworn vengeance against her and Chloe.

While there is no cause dearer to Pierce's heart than stopping Carnage, the task won't be easy. Strategic allegiances have replenished his enemy's power at sea, and he's moving ever closer to enacting his revenge. Now Pierce must find a way to defeat Carnage, all while fighting his desire for the resilient woman who fiercely defends her roost.

Editorial Reviews

"The setting is done in a way that draws you into the story, and has you wishing you could belly up to the bar at Marauder's Roost for one of Oriana's ales. If you like pirates and the high seas, this is a series you should pick up." ~ Uncaged Book Reviews: Cyrene

Uncaged Book Reviews

When Captain Pierce Walsingham sets out to defeat a diabolical sea villain, he damns the fate that makes Oriana Thorpe a crucial part of his plan: "He had to use her and protect her at the same time." Featuring a hero with honor in his very bones, a heroine born of generations of smugglers, and thoroughly delightful banter, this is pirate romance at its absolute best.

"For intrigue and deceit, romance and lies, this pirate story runs the gamut and does it all while painting a beautiful picture of the era!"

InD'Tale Magazine

I love this book. The third in a fantastic series, but it could read as stand alone. The story is well developed, full of mystery, trysts, adventures and hope. "The Pirate's Duty" is a fabulous romance!
