Jack Biddlecomb has much to live up to, being as he is the eldest son of the esteemed Captain Isaac Biddlecomb, wealthy merchant captain, leading light of the War for American Independence, and newly minted congressman.

But even before the dock lines are cast off, the voyage, which should have been routine, begins to look like a stormy passage indeed.

Fed up with an outlaw existence, Calico Jack Rackam swears off the pirate life, but he hasn’t reckoned with Anne Bonny, a woman who would as soon stab a man as give him a good tumble—that is, unless he’s a pirate. Soon Jack finds himself out on the high seas again, with Anne by his side and his men spoiling for action. And when they capture a Dutch merchant ship, they pick up an unlikely crewmate as well, an expert sword fighter and topmast seaman who has a secret: he just happens to be a woman named Mary. Together they cut a bold swath through the West Indies.

The American Plan. Born from science yet shaped by defiance, Ruth Rossiter has always lived in the shadow of contradiction. As a child, she unravels the secrets of a family she never knew, one bound by power, divided by ideology, and haunted by a battle over the life-extending drug, Gnia-itra. With each revelation, her world expands, forcing her to reconcile the impossible: a mother who fought against the very science that made her existence possible and a father who defied fate to bring her into the world.

More than one hundred years after Columbus blundered onto Hispaniola, the West Indies are held in Spain's iron fist, and no threat to that absolute rule is tolerated. But such total control cannot last, and one threat will emerge as the most dangerous of all: the buccaneers. Camped on the shore of Hispaniola, these half-wild men eke out a living hunting the island's feral livestock. Among them, Jean-Baptiste LeBoeuf lives out his exile, content that no one in the hunters' camp is curious about his past. But when a hurricane sweeps through the Caribbean, it upends their rough existence.

Thorgrim Night Wolf and his men, hunkered down behind their ad hoc defenses and facing off against the powerful army of Æthelwulf, king of Wessex, must find some means to continue their voyage home. But Æthelwulf, too, is trapped, unable to set sail on his pilgrimage to Rome while the powerful fleet of Northmen remains at his doorstep. It's only when the enigmatic Felix proposes a solution, acceptable to both sides, that the impasse is broken.

Rugged, sparsely settled, but poised on the edge of Spain's trade routes, Tortuga is an ideal base for the outcast hunters. Among them is the hulking, enigmatic Jean-Baptiste LeBoeuf, now a reluctant leader of the buccaneers. But LeBoeuf's interest in Tortuga involves more than simply escaping the Spanish Empire. Ownership of a plantation on the island has fallen into his hands, and it is his dream, his vision, to lay claim to that property and put an end to his savage and nomadic life.

I fled my wedding and stumbled into a stranger's car. It wasn't exactly my proudest moment, but I wasn't expecting him to save me. Now, I can't stop thinking about the brooding CEO who makes scowling an art form. He's grumpy, guarded, and as infuriating as he is gorgeous. But beneath his icy exterior, I see glimpses of something warmer, something real. I'm no stranger to difficult men—my family is full of them. The last thing I need is to fall for one who makes me question everything I thought I wanted.

I'm house-sitting for a year, and my next-door neighbor is the devil in disguise. He throws loud parties that last all night, and the women scream like he's some sort of god. But he can't be that good. He even had the nerve to have my car towed—just because he could. He's rude, arrogant, and worse, he knows exactly how to get under my skin.
