Final blurb

[valarltd]

Under a steamy Barbados sun, Nathaniel Collins makes an impulse purchase that will change the course of his entire life as a privateer. Pierced to the core by the sad blue eyes of the young man on the auction block, he buys Adlai, thinking to erase his sorrow and protect him from a less-pleasant fate in the fields or brothels.

At first, Adlai dares not trust the pirate who now owns his body, but time and proximity, need and care change his suspicions to respect and Collins' respect to love. Together, they brave all the sea can throw at them, including Nathaniel's former captain and rival, Thomas Harrison.

Harrison will stop at nothing to have Nathaniel and his ship back. And Adlai, Nathaniel's most prized treasure, becomes one more weapon in their ongoing war.

Fuck, now I actually want to buy the book and am broke. You, madam, are very, very good at what you do; this is a great blurb. :)

Hang in there, it should be out in a couple months. Edits are done, but we don't have cover art yet.

Thank you. Blurbs are one of the hardest parts of the job.

Is this a re-release? It sounds like Kestrel on the Horizon!

It is indeed Kestrel on the Horizon.
With about 5000 new words added, the historical howlers flagged in the Speak its Name review corrected, you and Alex name-checked in the acknowledgements and a lot more sex.
