Pretty Jane O'Doherty always chooses the wrong
kind of guys. Her specialty seems to be guys who have serious flaws and who
break her heart.
Her last breakup was a year ago and still she can
hear his final words, "I'm sorry, Jane. I've found someone else."
A 30-day cruise through the exotic Indonesian
Islands with her best friend seems like the perfect distraction to mend her
broken heart.
On board, she meets devastatingly gorgeous Nick,
who attracts women in droves, including our lovely Jane.
And she meets Peter, who is the cute geek with
puppy dog eyes.
Will either one just lead to another broken
heart?
Should she run the other way from them both and
just enjoy the cruise?
But before Jane can decide, the ship is attacked
by modern day pirates.
Unlike the pirates of old, these guys are
vampires and are more interested in human treasure than gold and jewels.
They take over the ship and take twelve women
hostage.
And the handsome pirate leader—with eerie
chalk-white skin, and red eyes, is looking for a special prize. He wants a
woman for his mate and queen . . .
Jane catches his eye, but she, along with Nick
and Peter, manage to escape in a lifeboat and onto the open sea.
They drift for fourteen days before finally
finding an island.
But the fates are cruel, and their island turns
out to be the home of the pirates and the lair of the Vampire.
The Pirates of Vampire Island is non-stop action
. . . filled with adventure, suspense . . . and steamy romance.
Excerpt
As we
approached the outdoor swimming pool on the top deck, I saw dark clouds
threatening a storm. My hair was whipping in the wind. I shivered. Bad idea.
But Remy was undaunted. She immediately ran and did a cannonball. As I stood
wondering if I should just go back to the cabin, a waiter came up, a small,
dark boy about sixteen, probably a native of the area. He wore a short white
jacket with epaulets and black pants.
"Would
you like a drink, mum?"
"How
about a snow suit?" I laughed. "Just kidding. No, I'm good for
now." I surveyed the sunbathers and swimmers. There he was. As usual, he
was surrounded by women. He was dressed in a simple white pullover sweater and
tan slacks, but the cut and fabric screamed money. His luxurious, curly black
hair whipped in the wind, making him look very unkempt, rugged, and nonchalant,
as if fine grooming was so not important because he was stunningly handsome no
matter what he wore or did.
"Excuse
me, sir?" I said.
The
waiter turned.
"What's
that guy's name? The one with the black curly hair."
"Nickolas
Angelopoulos." He stood for a moment. "Anything else I can help you
with?"
"Nope.
Thank you," I said, not taking my eyes off the amazing-looking man.
"You're
gawking."
I shook
myself and looked down. Remy was hanging on the side of the pool. "Yeah, I
guess I am."
Enough of that.
"I'm
coming in." I walked over to the diving board and performed a perfect
dive. I had always been very athletic, and I knew my body showed it.
I swam
several laps, trying not to look at this guy named Nickolas, and climbed out of
the pool, dripping water, and squeezing it out of my thick mane. I shivered a
little in the cool wind, and as I finished drying, I saw out of the corner of
my eye that Nicholas was staring at me – well, at my chest anyway. I looked
down to see that my nipples were perfectly erect through my black bikini. I
quickly draped my towel around my shoulders so it covered my breasts and was
suddenly looking for a quick way to exit.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
I was
born in St. Paul, Minnesota, and grew up in California. I came from a long line
of Americans who were pioneers and individualists. The family tree is filled
with rugged people: rough coal miners, pioneers, and farmers living in log
cabins in the early west. I wrote A Whisper from Eden, A Historical Fantasy,
but like to write in several genres.
Lover
Boy (aka my husband) was born and raised in Anaheim, California and wishes to
remain anonymous because he doesn’t want anyone to know he likes to write
romance novels. (Let's keep his secret.)
We
wrote THE PIRATES OF VAMPIRE ISLAND,
A Paranormal Romantic Thriller (Steamy Voyages #1). And we are working the
sequel to Steamy Voyages and a dystopian thriller, The Trash Pile People. We
live in Hollywood with our ornery tomcat, Snickers.
