Lust and discovery, betrayal and secrets in the age of sail.Oh yes, and pirates. Dirty, dirty pirates. Travel back to the Golden Age of Piracy where bodices were ripped, timbers were shivered, and we all pretend, for the sake of naughty books, that hygiene was a great deal better than it was.

As soon as The Mourning Dove sails from Bristol with Hannah on it, her life can begin again. Edmund Blackburn, notorious captain of The Devil's Luck, and his quartermaster Benjamin Till share everything. Responsibilities. Coin. A smirking contempt for the rule of law. An unexpected lady passenger aboard their ship proves no exception. Now Hannah faces a new reality: a ship full of Very Bad Men. The sort who do Very Bad Things and expect to get away with it. She doesn't know what's more terrifying: the scandalous demands they make, or the way she begins to counter their knavery with advances of her own. And the secrets. The ugly, horrible secrets. Blackburn and Till have no idea who they're dealing with, and what the dark consequences might be for all three of them. Eris Adderly transports you onto the decks of The Devil's Luck and into a dark, world of scoundrels and forbidden desires. Leave your inhibitions ashore: a bounty of pleasure awaits!

If the sons of man will not yield respect, Medousa will teach them to fear. Perseus is the Destroyer. Perseus is the Golden Son. The mercenary son of Zeus seeks no help from his absent sire. He would make his own reputation, without kneeling to beg favor from Olympos. When a tyrant king demands Perseus bring back the head of the gorgon Medousa, the price of failure becomes more than his reputation. More than he can ever hope to bear.

What weapon could strike out faster than the curse of the stone, should Perseus meet her eye? His arrogance appalls her. How dare this son of Olympos set foot on the gorgon's island? Another hero, come to collect a trophy? Medousa would pitch his stone carcass over the edge of a cliff. But would he learn anything? No. The Bane of Men would have him cower and tremble. She would have him crawl and beg. Medousa will seal this hero's fate. But first ... she will break him. The Mortal Coil is a viper's nest of cruelty, vengeance, and redemption. Mortals avoid the island of the gorgones--like this dark tale, it is no place for the faint of heart. Step foot ashore, but beware: danger lives here. And she does not like trespassers.
