"What began as an unstoppable explosion of passion forged into something pivotal, essential, and more." Not a fan of historical romance? Unsure about reading a steamy pirate love story? To help you decide, this is a taste of the world and characters in SEA OF RUIN. It can be read before or after the full-length, stand-alone novel. It doesn't spoil the main story. "Sea of Ruin is precisely what I LOVE in Dark Romance. Elegant writing that paints a romantic picture, swoon-worthy anti-heroes who make aggression oh so seductive, and a plot that balances on brutal and breath-taking. Couple that with well-researched history and pirates...yeah, it's a five pieces of eight gold stars from me. LOVED IT!" Pepper Winters, New York Times bestselling author
