I'm so excited to celebrate the release of my historical romance,
FALLING FOR THE PIRATE,
from Entangled Publishing. This is the second installment in the Men of Fortune
series, which features sexy former pirates who are working to establish
themselves as legitimate--and who each find love in the process.
I especially love the hero of
FALLING FOR THE PIRATE.
Nate is dark, brooding, and wants nothing more than to redeem himself and his
family—at least until he meets the heroine. Then he's faced with an impossible
choice. As The Blogger Girls said in their review, "Nate could be my pirate any
time!"
Here are five reasons why the heroine, Juliana, falls for him—and why who you
might too...
Nate has incredible loyalty. The Men of Fortune are more than
his business partners—they are his brothers. They fought together to build
themselves up, and he won't let any of them down.
Nate considers honor above all things. Nate had a hard
childhood, because his parents were murdered as part of dirty business dealings.
He has never forgotten their deaths, and makes it his mission in life to avenge
them.
Nate is determined and resourceful. Working on the docks was
hard, honest work, but it wouldn't earn him redemption. He forged partnerships
to establish Men of Fortune and then fought tooth and nail to make it succeed.
Nate fights for others first. Nate has a dark past, including
imprisonment and abandonment. He channels this dark knowledge into empathy for
those around him—and even started a school for young truant boys to learn work
as a sailor.
Nate loves unconditionally. Nate has been working his whole
life toward revenge—and soon realizes that as the daughter of his enemy,
Juliana
alone can give him that. However, he would have to mistreat her, and he can't
bring himself to do so. Instead he offers to help her start a new life, even if
it means losing her.
Okay, so those are five reasons to fall for Nate Bowen, pirate-turned-captain,
but I have a bonus reason...
Nate appreciates a confident woman—in every way. The heroine
Juliana is naturally curious and intrepid. So despite her very proper upbringing
as a young lady of quality, she knows some about pleasure and is eager to learn
more. Naturally, Nate is pleased.
For me that all adds up to a sexy, intriguing, irresistible hero in one dashing
package. And I think Juliana is a great match for him, light to his dark, hope
to his despair, and gentle in the face of his soulful caution.
I hope you enjoy reading more about Nate and the other Men of Fortune in
