Being on the run is no laughing matter for Lief Cooper. Better that than be hanged for a murder he didn’t commit, though. In his desperation, there’s only one man he can turn to—Captain Zephyr Chase. His magical prowess might make him the most feared pirate in all the realm, but to Lief, he’s a childhood friend and his ex-lover. Oh, and the man whose heart he happened to break. Help Lief? Hardly. Zephyr would rather zap himself with lightning. Besides, he’s got more important things to worry about than the sexual chemistry still burning brightly between them. Like the obsessive and deranged harpy masquerading as a man who will stop at nothing to claim Zephyr as his own. And he’s not going to take too kindly to there being competition. Lief and Zephyr have a golden opportunity for a second chance at love. But first, they need to clear Lief’s name, thwart a monster who’s impossible to kill, and not starve to death at sea in the process. Easy, right? A Pirate’s Pleasure is a 94k enemies to lovers story set in a fantastical world of action and adventure. It features soldiers determined to see ‘justice’ done, an antagonistic pirate crew, kidnapping, imprisonment, magic, passion, a huge dose of stubbornness, and a mysterious someone out to frame Lief for murder. While existing in the same universe as HL Day’s “13 Kingdoms” series, A Pirate’s Pleasure stands on its own, offering a captivating escape into a world where redemption and love may come at a perilous cost. less
