Lady Jane
Lindsey, widowed at a young age, seeks refuge from her departed husband’s

to the only man who’s protected her in the past, and offers him a bounty he
cannot refuse.
Shaw’s life is
perfect. Whisky, women and mayhem. He wants for nothing—until Lady Jane
presents a treasure he’d never considered possessing. Is he willing to risk his
lethal reputation in order to save a lass he barely knows, again? Will she
trust a pirate to see their arrangement through to the end? And what happens
when perilous battles turn to sinful kisses? Who will save them from each
other?
An excerpt from SAVAGE OF THE SEA

No more
of a coherent thought other than she’d never been kissed like this before went
through Jane’s mind. She should slap him, push him away, at the very least
demand to be put back on her own feet and a good measure of space put between
them.
But she
did none of those things. Instead, she found herself winding her arms around
his neck, parting her lips and sighing against his demanding lips. The
spicy-salty scent of him surrounded her, doing something wild to her senses.
Suddenly every part of her felt alive with a tingling fire that only seemed
ready to burn hotter.
Parting
her lips seemed to be a wicked invitation, for as soon as she had done it, his
devious tongue swept along the open seam causing her to gasp.
Oh,
sweet heavens, but that felt even more divine. Just that little lick sent a
jolt rushing through her. And before she could catch her wits from it, he’d
done it again, and again, and then her own tongue was reaching forward to test
it out. She touched the tip of her tongue to his and could have been struck by
lightning, so massive was the force of current that went rushing through her.
This
was wicked, oh, so very wicked. And yet, she couldn’t make herself stop.
And did
she have to? She’d given herself to this man. Had agreed to share his bed in
exchange for him vowing she was his, a marriage that may end up being a total
sham for all she knew. But that didn’t change the fact that she’d agreed to it,
that in order to be saved from Livingstone, to keep the rightful king safe, she
had invited this pirate to lay claim to her.
Lay
claim to her, he was. There could be no doubt about it, the way he owned her
body at that moment. She couldn’t move. He had her completely enthralled.
Completely captivated. Intoxicated.
It was
he who pulled away first. He who stared into her bemused eyes with a satisfied
expression that she would have found overly irritating if she wasn’t so busy
trying to find her bearings.
Shaw
set her down on her feet and grinned at her as though he’d plucked a tart
straight from her fingers and devoured it.
“I hope
that satisfies your need,” she murmured, “for sealing deals.”
He
chuckled then, a sound that caressed her nerves, but did very little in the way
of calming her. In fact, it did quite the opposite. She licked her lips, trying
to avoid looking at his mouth as she wanted him to very much kiss her once
more. He might have set her down on her feet, but she was barely standing on
her own. Every line in her body reached for him, wanting more of what he’d just
given her.
“That
was just a taste, love, of what satisfies, but not nearly enough.”
“Shall
we do it again then?” she asked in challenge, then felt the heat rush to her
face for having spoken so boldly.
Shaw’s
darkened gaze swept over her, bold and devilish, and right along with it her
body quivered. He wanted her. And she… wanted him.
“Oh,
sweet Jane, we shall do it again many more times.”
