    About this ebook

    Captain Marco Dante was captured and sentenced to hang two years ago, but he escaped before his punishment was carried out. Now he's come back to the woman whose memory kept him alive those long months in prison. Arianne had been his grand passion, but he failed to see how much she meant to him until it was too late. Can he recapture her heart? Or has he lost her forever? Arianne never imagined she’d see her notorious pirate lover again. Though her heart sings with joy at his return, she knows he hasn't come back for her but for the treasure he left behind. She agrees to help him find it, but can her heart withstand one more adventure with him?

      The Pirate's Lady - Tricia Schneider

      Inc.

      "I no longer travel your path. You sail without me, my friend."

      She pushed her bare toes into the grainy sand and stood, brushing the remaining sand that clung to her petticoats. In the silence of the crashing waves, she turned and walked away.

      Inside, her heart bled. Yet, she deserved no better. Her life led to this heartache. That she walked away from this man now, after all this time only confirmed it.

      Arianne, you’re coming with me.

      His serious tone warned her of his intentions. She spun to face him, unsheathing her sword in time to block his attack. The sound of metal striking metal pierced the moonlit darkness. Her ears rang with the sound.

      They stood, neither moving. She stared into his eyes. You would take me by force?

      Never by force, his voice lowered to a growl. You will come willingly. And he smiled, that knowing one she hated.

      She let out a howl of outrage and swung her sword. He easily blocked. They stepped a deadly dance of striking blades, until again they were trapped by heated gazes.

      Her breathing was heavy, labored, filled with excitement. She looked at his lips, wanting to taste them but knowing she dared not. Her will was never strong around him. With one touch she might lose herself and want him again for forever. But that dream would never be achievable with Marco.

      With him, she’d always be alone.

      To my best friends, Jamie and Larissa…

      ~*~

      Jamie, no matter how much distance is between us,

      our friendship always keeps us together.

      Thank you for dragging me out of the house when we were kids and giving me memories we can always share.

      I admire your bravery, strength,

      and laughter in the face of adversity.

      You smile to hide your pain,

      making you the bravest woman I know.

      I’m honored that you call me friend.

      ~*~

      Larissa, thank you for listening to me rant about

      my woes and encouraging me to pursue my dreams.

      Our talks are therapeutic and necessary for my sanity.

      I admire your determination and tenacity

      for making your dreams a reality.

      I’m very grateful that you chose this place

      (of all places in the world!) to move to

      so that we could meet and become such good friends.

      ~*~

      Also, a special thank you to Ash Krafton, for her friendship, wisdom and advice. I enjoy our writerly discussions and our shared book signings.

      May there be many more in our future!

      Chapter One

      Barbados 1720

      I’ve come for what’s mine.

      The voice came from behind. She hadn’t heard footsteps approach. The rolling waves crashing on the shore and the stars twinkling in a black velvet sky had lulled Arianne into a dreamy trance.

      Her back stiffened at the sound of the voice. She tried to estimate how far away he stood from her position kneeling in the sand without turning to see. Only a few steps she reckoned. Her hand crept to the sword on her belt. She gripped the handle, comforted by the leather covering the sturdy carved wood. The blade was sharp and deadly.

      What makes you think to find it here?

      Now she heard it, what she should have been on guard for earlier; the crunch of sand under boot. He walked with slow, measured steps. She refused to leap
