The Devil's Luck

Lust and discovery, betrayal and secrets in the age of sail. Oh yes, and pirates. Dirty, dirty pirates. Travel back to the Golden Age of Piracy where bodices were ripped, timbers were shivered, and we all pretend, for the sake of naughty books, that hygiene was a great deal better than it was. Hannah Collingwood is ready to sail from Bristol on The Mourning Dove and start a new life in the colonies. A villainous doctor has other plans for her, though, and they begin with smuggling her aboard the ship of the notorious pirate, Black Edmund. When Edmund Blackburn, captain of The Devil's Luck, and Benjamin Till, the ship’s quartermaster insist the widow "earn her keep", Hannah faces a new reality: this is a ship full of Very Bad Men. The sort who do Very Bad Things and expect to get away with it. Now she isn't sure what's more terrifying: the scandalous demands they make, or the way she begins to counter their knavery with advances of her own. Watching the prim but lovely widow struggle with her own desires is entertaining for a time, but before Edmund and Benjamin know it, sport turns into distraction. Hannah Collingwood is having her own inconvenient effects on the men, and none they'd care to admit. The waters grow more turbulent still when Edmund uncovers a sordid connection between his family and Hannah’s—one he can never let her know about. All he needs to do to continue enjoying the pleasure of her company is guard this ugly little secret. The only things at stake are ten years’ worth of plans and his oldest friendship with Benjamin.
