The Haunting, book 14 of Forever A Pirate

Jake and Miranda created Crescent through their passion, and those who settled there were gentle, open and always kind. When their children began to fall ill, they were lost. Crescent itself sensed a danger too great to risk setting free, so the bridge it had created between itself and Port Royal closes.

But not before one of Port Royal's leading citizens crossed. Now Abigail is stranded on Crescent and attempting to assist as the illness takes its first victim.

The Reynards arrive too late to save young Franklin, but they will not rest until the contagion is uncovered, in the meadow of their greatest struggle.

The Series – Forever A Pirate

Forever A Pirate is an exciting, mystical journey across time. These sizzling novels takes place under the Caribbean sun, surrounded by hot pirates, tall ships and cruises full of long, dark nights. This ocean is inhabited by daring pirates, a congenial populace, and magic, for good and evil. Passion lingers in the very air of this world.

Featuring Miranda, a time traveling sexual witch, who stumbles upon this world and decides to stay after meeting Jake Reynard: dashingly clever, a pirate who dominates his profession, experienced and willing to provide Miranda with her greatest need, sensual energy.

This is the role Jake is born for.

This scorching relationship runs through the entire 30 volume series. Using what is unorthodox, unexpected and unknown is exactly where Jake and Miranda rise above the rest. With authentic charm and deliberate calculation, they captivate the population of the Caribbean, pirate and gentle, building a home filled with friends and allies.

Challenged again and again, they work together to overcome and rise above the evil surrounding them. Warned that they are magnets for nefarious forces, they make their home at a nexus of magic, determined to protect what they love; friends, family, crewmates and most of all, each other.

Sometimes the hardest enemy to defeat is within the heart of the one you love.
