“Why did you take me?” 

“Because you’re valuable to me,” he replied, his dark and dangerous voice brushing against my skin in ways that made my heart race and my core ache.

“I don’t belong to you or any man,” I replied, trembling as I held my ground.

“Who said I was a man?”

Princess Evie Stanton lived a life of luxury she detested with a passion. Nothing was ever pretty when it came to high society and when her father tried to force her to marry a man twice her age, she knew she had to get out. 

Little did she know Captain Thane, a dragon prince seeking revenge, had his eye on her. 

Love often finds us in the most mysterious of ways, and these two enemies are brought together to navigate a way to earn their freedom. 

Will they be able to put aside their differences for love?

Or is the tragedy of Thane’s past too much to forget?

Lust of a Dragon

Two days of cutlass lessons with Gunner.


My stomach churned. What was I doing here? 


Now, I wore a cutlass on my hip like most of the crew. I had been getting used to the additional weight as I moved around on deck. Katarina even tailored one of Rio’s trousers to fit me better, a white blouse parted in the middle. I looked like I belonged on deck with everyone else.


I was no longer the Stanton Princess. I was just Evie. The translator. A pirate.


My conflicting feelings never went away.


I didn’t feel like a pirate. More like an imposter. 


Everything felt different for me now. No longer in constricting corsets or puffy gowns. I wasn’t being forced into etiquette lessons or an arranged marriage. I had the freedom to figure out who I was.


But I was still trying to discover that for myself.
