About This Book

"Pirates, love, magic, and the Caribbean; what more could you ask for?" ~ Paperback Dolls "Readers who fall under this "Caribbean Spell" will be hugely entertained!" ~ InD'Tales Magazine "I believe this book will be the first in a series so if, like me, you fall in love with Miranda, it could be a long, exciting and enjoyable affair! I, for one, can't wait for the next contribution!" Quantum Phase ~ Amazon, UK, of A Caribbean Spell, book #1 Fresh from months spent in the East Indies, Jake Reynard's Moonstone returns to the Caribbean. A planned visit with friends finds the pair drawn into a new stratagem. An unknown brother is set upon using the Commodore's new bride to see the French in control of the stronghold of Port Royal. To help Colette, they set a course to intercept Bernard and his plots. In pursuing this adventure, Miranda at last acknowledges the depths she will dive to protect her new family, surprising herself as well as Jake. Bernard is vanquished, but a final trick from the grave finds the entire Caribbean in pursuit of the pirate pair. A last letter describing Reynard's pirate cave stirs greed and they are chased to the point of exhaustion. Even Tortuga turns against the pair, who sacrifices much to return to that island's graces. But there is no rest for the Moonstone, as the British heart is now set to bring them down. Constant hostilities with France and Spain see the British demand their share of the Reynard fortune and an oath of fealty from the pirate. This Jake is not willing to do. Together with the loyal friends of Port Royal, a charade is cast to see them free of constant pursuit. New alliances rise to the surface and friends are found that astonish and delight the pirates. But first, they must convince the British that there is no profit in chasing Jake Reynard, or his witch, Miranda.
