The Kraken's Promise, book 4

It's been a very long 25 years for Lee Silver. He survived the ill-fated adventure with the Pirate Circus, and learned how to be a man from his uncles. But when it came to the promise of satisfying women, he failed to rise to the challenge. Ever. But the Kraken sent a dream to stir him…his heart's desire lay on the shores of the Pacific, so that is where he sets a course.

Desperate to escape the humiliation of another idiot romance, Karen Silvestri is simply looking for some time away from home. When Lee plans his trip, seeking a ship to take him south, then west, she tags along. As good a sailor as her cousin, she hopes to keep an eye out for him.

Yes, he's older, but she's not always sure he's wiser. What awaits them is a journey through time, searching for the truth of the Kraken's Promise.

*****
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 – these are all within her social sphere and she borrows, steals, and creates stories from her adventures at these venues. Oh, and her imagination.
