The Devil's Luck: The Skull and Crossbone Romances, Book 1 In the age of sail, where the salty sea breeze whispers secrets of the past and the creaking timbers of ships groan under the weight of their cargo, a tale of lust, discovery, betrayal, and secrets unfolds. The Golden Age of Piracy, a time when bodices were ripped and timbers were shivered, sets the stage for a story of temptation and desire that threatens to consume all who dare to sail the high seas. Hannah Collingwood, a widow ready to start anew in the colonies, finds herself smuggled aboard The Devil's Luck, a ship notorious for its captain, Edmund Blackburn, and his quartermaster, Benjamin Till. These Very Bad Men, with their scandalous demands and wicked desires, challenge Hannah's resolve and test her own knavery. As she navigates the treacherous waters of piracy, Hannah must confront her own desires and the inconvenient effects they have on the men around her. Edmund, captivated by her beauty and grace, struggles to keep his secret hidden, a connection between his family and Hannah's that could ruin everything he has worked for.
