A Troubling Courtship
A short story of the Kraken’s Caribbean

It should never have happened. A werewolf and a vampire, romantically involved.
Davis and Rebecca stepped from the Immortal completely smitten with each other. In the years after, their love has only deepened. King Keitran, Rebecca’s vampire sire, reluctantly grants her permission and leave of her vows.

Ah, but his parents, who lead the forest pack…not so easy. And, of course, Emily Silvestri will meddle! Should be an interesting struggle.

Maureen O. Betita began her career writing about pirates and intends to continue that tradition the rest of her life. Pirates are her passion, though not so much historically accurate pirates as the greats of Hollywood Pirates. She uniquely blends romance, adventure, Steampunk (on occasion) and fantasy/paranormal elements. Pirate Festivals, Steampunk Gatherings, Science Fiction and Fantasy Conventions, Renaissance Faires â€" these are all within her social sphere and she borrows, steals, and creates stories from her adventures at these venues. Oh, and her imagination.
