"Adventure, passion, and smooth shaving on the high seas"

Amid the ballrooms of the ton, Lord John Fitzpatrick played the game of gentleman perfectly. But out on the high seas, he played another game, that of cat and mouse as the pirate BlackJack, claiming all that he wished.

Sailing home to be with her father, Lissa Stillton crossed his path and became another piece of booty to the gentleman pirate. Determined to enjoy the unexpected pleasure Lissa's arrival on his ship presents, Jack never dreamed of the consequences it would entail.

In a time when decorum dictated every aspect of a woman's life, and to flirt too long with a man could ruin one's reputation, Lissa finds unexpected freedom as the captive of the pirate BlackJack. As events unfold, Lissa and Jack seem as two star-crossed lovers, ships passing in the night. But love has a way of happening, even when one fights against it.

In THE ADVENTURESS, the second of Mlyn Hurn's e-books published by Amatory Ink, she blends passion and the high seas, with her trademark smooth shaven characters perfectly. The characters are fleshed out and in the flesh as only Mlyn could make them. Smooth and well defined, the storyline flows right up until the last page, leaving only one question in the readers mind: When does Marcus' story come out?

Rated: Hard R/NC-17.
