Book Description
**Pirates in Time Complete Trilogy!** Pirate's Prize A woman scorned by a thief. A pirate captain on the hunt to change his stars. Scammed by the man she trusted, all Emily wants is a fun day with her friends at the Tall Ships festival to forget about him and her lost life savings. When she and her best friend put on necklaces purchased from a vendor, she's sent back in time to 1715, alone. A sexy pirate captain saves her life, but he steals her only way home. Angry at another thief, Emily pretends to be a man and joins the crew, but her vain efforts only bring her closer to the captain, and he's not what she expected. Emily finds herself trying to prove she can handle him and the crew, but if he finds out she's a woman, it means her death, and the captain's secret could destroy her forever. Pirate's Treasure A woman devastated by petty revenge. A pirate captain fueled by vengeance. An enlightening text hours before her I-do ceremony left Angela Foxe brokenhearted and cursing technology. Having decided no decent guys are left, Angela is only interested in a good time, and at the Tall Ships festival, she intends to fulfill that wish with a little pirate booty. Instead, she finds herself transported to 1715. Captain Price doesn't care about the gold, but if he can bribe the crew, he will. Nothing is going to stop him from vengeance against the Spanish warship responsible for his brother's murder, knowing it will cost his life. When a woman appears on his ship, challenging everything he believes in, Price will have to make a choice. She just might be the one person capable of saving him in more ways than one. Pirate's Plunder A police officer desperate to save lives. A reckless pirate captain looking to self-destruct. By dating colleagues, Robin Hall had broken the cardinal rule at work, and now that mistake is following her around like a buzzing bee. Robin wants an escape, but she’d promised her friends she’d join them at the Tall Ships festival. While desperately searching for them, a handsome but disheveled man spouts crazy details of a historical world, and she’s determined to help the mentally ill enthusiast. But what if he’s telling the truth? Reputation, a pirate’s most valuable prize, but not to Captain Riley. He only wants to give his crew the ultimate prize—both showering the crew in riches and bringing him to his long-lost family. But a traitor from his past reappears, and before Riley can stop yet another betrayal, he’s transported to a foreign world of shiny beasts, amazing cooling devices, and strange food. When his rescuer follows him home, can he protect her from the plan he’d already set in motion? If you like swashbuckling cinnamon roll pirates, bold women who know what they want, a forbidden romance, and an adventure on the high seas, you'll love the Pirates in Time trilogy. Each book is a standalone with a guaranteed HEA, but best if read in order. Buy now and binge an addictive swoon-worthy, swashbuckling series on the high seas!

Languages : en
Pages : 448
Book Description
The prize-winning debut novel from a major new talent in Catalan literature—the story of four half-brothers who only discover the others’ existence when the father who abandoned them all is reported missing. Christof, Christophe, Christopher, and Cristòfol are four brothers—sons of the same father and four very different mothers—yet none of them knows of the others’ existence. They live in four different cities: Frankfurt, Paris, London, and Barcelona. Unbeknownst to them, they have one thing in common: Gabriel Delacruz—a truck driver—abandoned them when they were little and they never heard from him again. Then one day, Cristòfol is contacted by the police: his father is officially a missing person. This fact leads him to discover that he has three half-brothers, and the four young men come together for the first time. Two decades have passed since their father last saw any of them. They barely remember what he was like, but they decide to look for him to resolve their doubts. Why did he abandon them? Why do all four have the same name? Did he intend for them to meet? Divided by geography yet united by blood, the “Christophers” set out on a quest that is at once painful, hilarious, and extraordinary. They discover a man who during thirty years of driving was able to escape the darkness of Franco’s Spain and to explore a luminous Europe, a journey that, with the birth of his sons, both opened and broke his heart.
