Wendi: Pirates are bad lads, we all know that. But what was the naughtiest thing you ever got up to as a boy?
Killian: As a boy, oh, I don’t know. I knew how to charm the ladies from a young age and could figure out how to get out of a jam pretty easily.
Wendi: Where do you keep your parrot?
Killian: Don’t have one, love. Don’t need one. I’m my own man.
Wendi: In your own words, tell us what your first impression was when you met Sarah. Did you hit it off right away?
Killian: We didn’t hit it off, not at all. I stole her from her yacht. She wasn’t terribly appreciative. She tried to hit me. I didn’t mind, quite frankly. A good roll with her has been fun. I’d give you more details, but even a dirty pirate doesn’t tell all his secrets.
Wendi: Where do you like to bury your treasure?
Killian: Now is that a proper question for a pirate? If I told you where I buried it—or would like to—then all of the world would be out hunting for it.
Wendi: You've sailed the high seas for a good while now. What is the best place you've ever been to and why do you like it?
Killian: Anywhere my Sarah happens to be is good enough for me. I’m not terribly particular.
Wendi: Women or ships?
Killian: In most cases, I’d say the ship is the thing. I love my vessels—whichever one I happen to be sailing. But if Sarah is thrown into the mix, then I’d take her on my ship.
Wendi: Describe yourself in five words.
Killian: Handsome, suave, dangerous, unpredictable, sexy. I don’t have much restraint, now, do I?
Wendi: Did you have any serious relationships before Sarah? If so, what happened? How did you break up?
Killian: I did. I was very much in love with a woman, but she didn’t love me. We split because she thought I didn’t have enough to offer her. I took up pirating as a way to make the money. When I came home, she wasn’t there, so I went out to sea again. I liked the company of the waves better than that woman anyhow.
Wendi: Have you done the Totally Bound Jolly Rogered Quiz yet? What was your score?
Killian: I did all right. My pirate name according to the generator was Fish Head Darius...I don't know who created those names, but I think I'll stick with Killian. My regular name is just fine.

Two adventurous
souls will always find their way together.
Pirates aren’t in vogue in 1910,
but that’s not stopping Captain Killian Thomas. His exploits have been splashed
all over the newspapers for more than ten years. He takes what he wants, no
questions asked. He’s happy with life on the water—until he sees her.
Sarah Moyer, heir to the Moyer real
estate fortune is a rare jewel among the upper crust. Her independent ways are
notorious. She’s driven a car, traveled to England on her own and flatly
refuses to marry the man her father’s picked out for her. The chance encounter
with Captain Thomas changes her perspectives. Will she follow the ways of a
proper lady or will she allow herself to be ruined by the pirate?
Reader alert: Contains
the ruining of a virgin as well as scenes of oral sex, sex on the bed
and sex in a cabin. This pirate knows who he wants and he’s not afraid to
take her to the orgasmic heights she deserves.

“What exactly do you think you’re
doing?” she demanded.
The figure turned around and she
gasped. The man from the dock. He grinned and shrugged. “I believe this is
called stealing, love.” He grasped her jewelry box from the mantle and tucked
it into his large coat.
“Not my things you won’t.” She surged
toward him and swung. Instead of connecting with his face, like she’d planned,
she bounced her fist off his shoulder. Drat. Her defensive move hadn’t stopped
him. Instead, he laughed, which infuriated her more. “Put those down and leave
my room. Who do you think you are? You’re not entitled to my things.”
“Darling, I don’t want your jewelry.”
He placed the box back on the mantle. “I came here for something else. You.”
Killian Thomas watched the minx
squirm. He’d knocked her for a loop by admitting the truth. Her dark eyebrows
knotted as she glared at him.
“Why would you be here for me?” She
gripped the front of her coat. “I’m not anyone important.”
“I suppose you’re going to tell me
I’m wasting my time.” He stalked toward her, capturing her in his arms and
pinning her between his body and the wall. “Sarah, love, I’m
a pirate and I’ve come to collect my booty.”
“Me?” she squeaked.
“There aren’t any other eligible,
beautiful women on board.” He shouldn’t have let that slip—never tell the
person you’re kidnapping that you’re attracted to them. He turned her around in
his arms and clamped one hand over her mouth. “I bet your father would pay a
hefty price to get you back, wouldn’t he?”
She nodded and dug her teeth into his
finger. Ah, the minx wanted to play dirty. He hauled her tight to his body,
pressing his growing erection into her backside. “This isn’t the time for
games. You and I are going to go outside where my ship is waiting. My men have
overtaken the crew of this ship. If you scream, I’ll whip your ass. Understand
me?”
She froze again, but allowed him to
move her forward. He hated to threaten her with something he’d never do—intentionally
hurt a woman—but desperate times called for desperate measures. Killian slipped
one arm around her waist, keeping her close.
“Say anything and I’ll lock you in my
quarters.” Killian moved his hand, but kept her firmly in his grasp. He nodded
to Andrews, his first mate. “We’ve got our cargo. Let’s move.”
Gunfire rang out around him as he
muscled Sarah onto his small boat. She wobbled a couple of times on the narrow
gangplank between the ships, but unlike most of his crew, she managed. She
fought him, sending the smaller boat teetering.
“Hold still or I’ll use manacles on
you,” Killian snapped. He turned his attention to his cohort. “Go.”
Andrews furiously rowed the life boat
away from the massive yacht. He cackled a few times as they pulled away.
Thankfully, Sarah stopped thrashing.
“You can’t take her,” one of the men
screamed from the luxury ship. “Pirates!”
“What will you do about it?” Killian
volleyed back. “You’ll storm my ship? Not a chance. Andrews, full speed ahead.”
He thrust Sarah to the floor until they were out of range of the bullets. Once
they reached his stolen yacht, he snatched her from the soggy planks of the
smaller boat. He didn’t give her time to think as he dragged her to the
backside of the ship. From the moment he spotted her on the docks a month
before, he knew he needed Sarah. She made his heart sing in ways he thought
impossible.
“These are my quarters.” He opened
the door to his private rooms. “Wait here.”
“But I didn’t say anything,” she
protested. Some of the pins had fallen from her hair and two dark chocolate
colored tendrils slipped over her shoulders. To other men, she might have
looked disheveled. In his eyes, she embodied beauty, strength and fire.
“Very true, but your crew wishes me
dead. I’d rather you lived as well.”
“They wouldn’t want me dead if you’d
stayed on your boat and left me alone.” She attempted to tuck her hair back
into the messy bun.
“Love, I’m wanted in many places for
many things. None of those heists mattered compared to having you.”

A note from Wendi:
I’ve always dreamt of writing the stories in my head. Tall, dark,
and handsome heroes are my favorites, as long as he has an independent woman
keeping him in line. I love playing with
words and letting the characters run wild.
NASCAR, Ohio farmland, dirt racing, animals and second chance
romance all feature prominently in my books. I also write under the pen name of Megan
Slayer. Come join me for this fantastic journey!
If you like my work, tell your friends and email me. I love
hearing from readers!
