Today I’m sharing a seven-sentence snippet from my sexy pirate short story, Marooned, for MFRW BookHooks!

Opening lines:

“We should kill the witch before she harms us,” Kitty whined. “It would serve her right.”

Heather bit back a gasp and pressed her ear closer to the crack in the cabin wall.

Roger let out a sigh. “Not yet. I need her as my wife until my position is established. Once I am master of the plantation, and have my own people in key positions, sweet Heather can disappear and you will be the new Mrs. Parnell.”

Blurb:

Heather Parnell is traveling from England to her home in Jamaica with her new husband, Roger, a man she detests. She performs a banishing spell with unintended consequences. When their ship is attacked by pirates, Roger is killed. Heather, disguised as a boy, joins the pirate crew.

Pirate captain Adam Langworth suspects there is something odd about the new lad. When he discovers she is a woman, she begs him to keep her secret, a violation of the ships’ articles. He agrees, but when her identity is discovered, Adam and Heather find themselves marooned on a deserted island with nothing to do for the rest of their lives but make love.

How will they get out of that predicament?
