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.
