A historian presents “an excellent guide to how pirates became the outlaw celebrities of the high seas” (Greg Jenner, host of the You’re Dead to Me podcast). During his life and even after his death, Captain William Kidd’s name was well known in England and the American colonies. He was infamous for the very crime for which he was hanged, piracy. In this book, historian Rebecca Simon dives into the details of the two-year manhunt for Captain Kidd and the events that ensued. Captain Kidd was hanged in 1701, followed by a massive British-led hunt for all pirates during a period known as the Golden Age of Piracy. Ironically, public executions only increased the popularity of pirates. And, because the American colonies relied on pirates for smuggled goods such as spices, wines, and silks, pirates tended to be protected from capture. This is the story of how pirates became popularly viewed as “Robin Hoods of the Sea”—and how these historical events were pivotal in creating the portrayal of pirates as we know them today. “Only someone who has lived in the shadows chasing faded pirates for an age, and is blessed with creativity, can pull off a book of this high caliber.” —Wreck Watch Magazine

Warning: this book is much spicier than Book 1, so please don't buy unless you enjoy a higher flame rate. You've been warned. “Every good girl wants to be bad. I am the bridge from the light to darkness.” Dumped by her ex for being “rigid”, Lisa seeks to escape the heartbreak by taking a Bahamas vacation with her bestie. But when a museum's guide puts a jade necklace around her neck, her escape takes an unexpected turn as she opens her eyes in 1718, on a ship…facing a very naked, very aroused pirate captain. Notorious, dangerous, and sinfully gorgeous Cole the Black, is instantly enchanted by his mysterious beauty. And while holding Lisa captive, he offers her a tantalizing deal: the jade necklace—a ticket back to her time—in return for her surrender for one decadent night. And under Cole's passionate touch Lisa starts to doubt: is she really the good girl everybody believes her to be? With his wicked mouth and talented body, he doesn’t just break through her inhibitions…he shatters them. As dawn breaks, Lisa is left with a heart-wrenching decision: should she return to her safe and convenient life in the 21st century, or is it her destiny to rule the high seas with this dark captain who has already plundered her heart?
