The Arrow and the Flame #1

After joining a pirate crew and falling for the captain, a young man’s strange and frightening powers emerge.

Twenty-two year-old Simon White begs for a place on Captain Dinesh Martin's pirate ship, the Arrow. When he proves hilariously inadequate at most tasks, he finds himself in the captain's quarters as cabin boy, housekeeper, and bed warmer.

Captain Martin used to be a British naval officer, until he became disenchanted with the hypocrisy, racism, and classism of the institution and embarked on a life of piracy. He runs an organized and efficient vessel and prides himself on the men with whom he surrounds himself. He is esteemed and admired, and he gives them as good a life as they've ever known.

But Simon has more than a few surprises up his sleeve, including some frightening powers, and Dinesh learns that sometimes a pretty appearance and amenable disposition can fool even an experienced man of the seas.

"The story is the first of a series, and I would one hundred percent read the next book. Simon and Dinesh are fun and playful, having delicious lusty times together, and even inviting a third in under the right circumstances. I would definitely recommend for readers who like sexy, historical romances, or pirate stories with a twist of the supernatural." ~ Joyfully Jay Reviews

A threatening presence calls to Simon—a nightmarish creature from the depths with a connection to his awakened powers.

Simon White never expected to find his soulmate on the pirate ship, the Arrow, but once he and Captain Martin meet, nothing can stop their sensual alliance. Now, after saving the captain and the crew many times with his surprising powers, Simon has been promoted to officer and has a secure place in the captain’s bed and his heart. 

A trip to visit an old friend of Captain Martin’s on Talamanca is a respite from shipboard living and from the disturbing nightmares that have been plaguing Simon—terrifying dreams of a horrifying creature that sings a seductive song. Meeting Francis and his wife, Jimena, who conducts a sacred cacao ceremony to bless the crew, is an eye-opening and welcome distraction from their worries. 

Once back aboard the Arrow, however, Simon’s nightmares return and strange events begin to occur. Is something evil on board, or is Simon going mad? When the bizarre occurrences begin to affect the entire crew, the men become aware a paranormal presence is at work.
