For Giveaway #4, I would like to welcome Author Sandra Sookoo. Welcome Sandra!
~~
Thanks for having me on your blog today. It
looks like a great party!
Let’s talk stories. I’ve always been a big fan
of adventure-type stories. Swords, quests, caravans with camels, mummies, bad
guys, whatever the author can conjure up, I’ll read it. Throw in a bit of
suspense or romance and I’m as happy as a clam.
I think that’s a big reason of why I became a
writer. To pen the types of stories I sometimes couldn’t find out there in the
market place.
That’s exactly why I wrote my latest release
ACT OF PARDON. I’ve been fascinated by pirates all my life, and to write about
them was just too much fun. If you’re a fan of adventure romance with
privateers, sword fights, sea battles and searing love scenes, this book is for
you!
Here’s the blurb: Retribution and sorrow can bring redemption and salvation if you look
hard enough.
The year is 1814 and piracy is drawing to an
end in the Caribbean yet Sarah Covington, a disenchanted missionary's daughter,
has a plan to kill the pirate who murdered her father and fiancé. When the
assassination attempt goes horribly wrong, she’s taken aboard the Lady Catherine as prisoner. Though she’s
forced to embrace a life of degradation and subservience by the very pirate she
tried to kill, he stirs passions she never knew she harbored.
Adrian Westerbrooke captains the Lady Catherine but not by choice.
Officially a privateer under England's protection, he has his own agenda and
will take down targets for the highest bidder. The only problem is the
beautifully flawed Sarah. He'll try everything in his power to break her spirit
and make her bow before his. At sea, his word is law, no matter how much she
intrigues his mind and inflames his body.
Yet Sarah possesses a stubbornness that
matches his own, on deck and in the bedroom, and a battle of wills begins. As
trust grows, so does their desire--whether they can survive the threats at sea
while working through their differences is up to faith… and perhaps love.

It's been a long time since I've read a historical romance and I loooove pirates.
