Synopsis:
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 his 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 silver,
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.”
