Synopsis:
A daring brotherhood, where honor among thieves reigns supreme, and crushing their enemies
is a thrilling pastime. These are the Pirates of Britannia.
Thornley “Thor” MacLeod, captain of The Sea Devil and prominent member of the Devils of the Deep
is out for one thing and one thing only—revenge against Santiago Fernandez, leader of Los Demonios
de Mar. Tormented by the demons of his past, he knows the only relief to his pain will be spilling the
blood of his enemy. When he learns that Santiago seeks to find a child he abandoned nearly two
decades before, Thor is determined to find the precious treasure first. Which means, Thor may have to
sacrifice his honor in order to exact the perfect vengeance.
Orphaned at a young age, Alesia Baird has grown up along the harsh coasts of Scotland, bearing
witness to many a nightmare. With the hangman’s noose dangling ever closer to her neck, she has to
find a way to escape the only life she’s ever known. When she overhears a pirate mention he seeks the
child of Santiago Fernandez, Alesia takes the leap, knowing this could be her only way out.
Alesia must keep up the ruse long enough to escape with her life, and perhaps a sack full of jewels. But
when it comes time to jump ship, she finds her destiny may have led her in a different path. Will the
hardened Highlander allow a lass into his heart—or is she destined to be alone forever?

An excerpt from THE SEA DEVIL
Copyright © Eliza Knight 2018
“I’m a pirate, lass. What am I supposed to think when I come into my room and a lass has
made herself at home, going so far as to take off her boots?”
She pushed against him more, and he did let go slightly, enough that she thought she might
be able to draw a better breath, but it didn’t appear that his hold was what kept her from
breathing. Struggling to speak without choking, she said, “I came here because I heard ye
were looking for the bastard of Santiago Fernandez.”
“And ye claim to be that unfortunate offspring?”
She nodded solemnly. “I do.”
“Prove it,” he growled.
“How?” She wriggled against him. “Put me down first.”
“Say something to me in Spanish.”
He settled her in front of him, but not far enough away that she couldn’t still feel the heat of h
is body sinking into hers. Thinking quickly on her feet, Alesia frowned up at him. “My mother
was Scots, and my father, the legendary Spanish pirate, abandoned me the moment he planted
his seed, ye buffoon. Where would I have learned his language?”
“Point taken.” He studied her face, eyes narrowed. “Ye do have the look of him. In a feminine
sort of way. Save for that hair. Tempestuous hair.”
Her mouth fell open at the insult. She moved to stomp on his foot but quickly found herself
lifted off her feet, arms pinned to her sides by the steely strength of his own.
Fine, he wanted to play dirty. She’d already showed him once she knew how to take down a
man. Alesia moved to kick him where she’d had the pleasure of socking him before, but
Captain Thor clamped her legs between his thighs of steel.
“Uh-uh, princess,” he mocked.
Though she hated to head-butt anyone for the headache it always gave her, that was her next
move. Alesia was fairly certain at this point she wasn’t going to be walking away with the s
ilver, which meant she could at least walk away with her life—and figure out another way to
escape the wharf.
Before she had the chance to make good on her decision to crack her head against his, she
found herself flattened to the wood-planked floor, and his massive body on top of hers. Every
hard plane pressed to the soft curves of her own. She sucked in a ragged breath, prepared to
shout at him to leave off, but she found her throat too tight to speak.
“I’d have expected more from Santiago’s daughter, wee sprite.” His finger trailed over her
cheek and along her jawline.
Alesia bared her teeth, trying to wriggle free but only managing to feel his body pressed harder
to hers. “And I would have expected more from a pirate Captain.”
“Touché.” His grin was inviting. Unnerving. Disarming.
“Get off me,” she growled, trying keep her mind in the right place—the angry place. That was
survival. To succumb to his disarmament was to lose.
His gaze shifted to her lips. “Not without a kiss.”
Alesia snorted and shoved at his unmoving shoulders. “I’d not kiss ye if ye were the last man
on earth.”
“What if I were the second to last?” he teased.
She let out an exasperated groan. “Not then, either, ye ogre.”
He clucked his tongue. “Shame.”
“Why’s that?”
“Because, lass, if sparring with ye is this fun, kissing would be even better.”
