Admit it, there’s just something swoonworthy about a pirate. I know, not realistic in the modern world where pirates have a very different reputation, but what if you could find a guy with that adventurous spirit, that love for the sea, and that unquenchable passion for treasure? If that sounds tantalizing, have I got a hero for you!
Tucker McCormack in my latest Indulgence, Her Sworn Enemy, is not your average alpha millionaire. He’s like Chris Pine with surfer length hair and a killer bod honed by hard work and months out in the sand and sea. Tucker is a black sheep son of a billionaire and his mistress, who has no roots, no family. And now that he’s made his own fortune, he’s intent on revenge against the half-brother who left him destitute after their father died. He just needs one more big score to be able to buy out, and dismantle, the family company from under his half-brother. Family is the bane of his existence.
Enter Belladonna Dupre. She’s smart, stubborn and hell, and has her own agenda – to bring up the treasure from a ship wreck she’s spent her whole life working to find. For Bella the recovery of the ship wreck is personal. Not only is it her family legacy, it’s her last chance to save and protect what little family she has left. For her family is everything. But when Tucker enters the picture she’s sorely tempted to fall into the trap all the other women in her family have faced, and let passion rule her heart – and fall heart first into the family curse.
Together they uncover a sunken treasure that could change both their lives.
So what makes a modern-day pirate, so cool?
1. He knows what he wants and he’s not afraid to go after it. And if that happens to be you, well, honey, so much the better.
2. He isn’t into conforming. The wilder and more risky, the better. Any guy who can sweep you off your feet and is equally at home in the sand and surf as he is the boardroom has added sex appeal.
3. He appreciates the value of the past. Treasure by nature is something you’ve lost and want to find. He’s lost enough to make him broken, but smart enough to know he wants to find something better.
4. He’s got charm. Pirate and charm are kind of synonymous. In fact I’m pretty sure it’s included in the dictionary definition.
5. He’s passionate. You can live the life of the pirate, the risk, the unknown outcomes, the hunt for treasure, and not be passionate. If there’s one thing a pirate knows how to do, it’s enjoy himself…and you.
So, are you ready to read something to warm up that cold winter night? Her Sworn Enemy is waiting for you!
Books have been the one constant in Theresa Meyers’ life. She grew up with a dining room her mother turned into a library. She learned early the value of a questioning mind, possessing lots of books and a good china teapot. But it wasn’t until third grade that Theresa overcame her dyslexia and learned to read, going on to make words her life’s work, getting her first piece published in Merlin’s Pen, a national magazine at age 17. A former journalist and public relations officer, she’s found far more enjoyment using her writing skills to pen fiction novels in the turret office of her Victorian home. She’s spent over a quarter of a century married to her Prom date, lives on a mini-farm in Washington with her family, drinks tea with milk and sugar, and has been a PADI certified open water diver since the age of 19. When she’s not writing she’s likely sewing, baking, helping with homework or riding her horse. Want to know more?
