Pirates! My house is being invaded by pirates and there is nothing I can do but hide my face in my hands. Seriously. That is the safest thing for me to do. The pirates of course are my hubby and baby bassets. Let me just say… Puppies are very dangerous creatures. First of all, I have no idea why, but little Rosey is compelled to stick her nose fast and hard into my hubby’s eyes. She sucker punches him every chance she gets. The man can’t take much more of the abuse. I will say that half the time he is sticking his face in her face, so he is kinda asking for it. Not sure what happened to my youngest baby basset, but I saw him walking through the house with a huge scratch across one of his eyelids. OUCH!! It looked pretty painful. I asked him what happened and he just shrugged his shoulders and said, “Puppy”. Okay. I have been keeping my reading glasses on. I don’t know about the rest of the family, but I need both my eyeballs. Crazy pup.

Tristan (Pirate Lords Book 1)
by Elizabeth Rose
Genre: Romance
FREE for a limited time
RONE Award Finalist
A woman on board is bad luck… unless she is the key to finding a lost treasure.
The Pirate: Tristan Fisher and his brothers leave their father’s fishing boat and return to piracy, longing for the adventure and riches they once knew. With dwindling supplies and a restless crew, fate finally smiles on them when a storm at sea leaves behind flotsam. However, it is more than just boxes and barrels of supplies they find. Tristan and his brothers fish an old woman out of the water who says she knows the whereabouts of a treasure, and is also their grandmother!
The Scottish Lass: Gavina Drummond’s life is turned upside down when her father puts her up as a wager on a gamble and then gets killed. Now dressed like a boy with her hair cut short, the enemy has inked a treasure map onto her back and burned the map in view of the pirates who attack. Having to pretend she’s a boy to save herself, Gavina’s luck runs out. Tristan, the pirate lord decides to take her along with them as his cabin boy.
Gavina needs nothing short of a king’s treasure to pay back her late father’s gambling debts and to buy back her brother’s freedom. This might be her answer, except that she can’t read the map on her back and is going to have to trust someone enough to tell them her secrets.
Tristan seems the likely choice since searching for treasure is what he does. But if she tells him, she’ll be vulnerable, not only because she’s a girl, but because she’ll have to disrobe in front of him in order for him to see it.
Will a dark-hearted pirate discover he’s unknowingly brought a woman on board again, and this one might be the key to finding his coveted treasure? Or is a treasure of silver and gold not really what he desires the most after all?

After witnessing the horrifying murder of her friend Tom Haley, Mallory Lowe, a cautious university mathematics professor, must emerge from her cocoon to become the gutsy and unpredictable woman she’s always dreamed of being. Running on the guilt of a past family tragedy that she blames on herself, Mallory is determined to find Tom’s now-missing daughter.
Following the clues in a 300-year-old equation left by Tom, Mallory’s search propels her into the tangled threads of a ruthless corporate entity known as Möbius, bent on controlling the world’s most precious resource: fresh water.
Along the way, Mallory is joined by CIA agent Lane McKenzie, who used Tom Haley as an operative to infiltrate Möbius and expose their corruption of government officials.
