1788–Bahamian Squadron. . .

A fighter, rogue and a lady man, Alan Lewrie has done the unthinkable and trapped himself with a woman and a ship! That woman was lovely Caroline Chiswick. The ship is the ketchup ship, the Alacrity, bound to the Bahamas and a bloody game of cat and mouse with pirates plying the frenzied winds there. But while war came naturally to the young husband, politics did not. Undoubtedly a mighty Bahamian merchant behind the scourge of piracy, Lewrie flees the Royal Governor who holds the most precious hostage of all. . . .

From the windswept Carolinas to the exotic East Indies, Alan Lewrie fights and plays with all the wild abandon of the high seas. He is a true mighty naval hero in the age of great sailing ships.

This book was so good. I loved John Lee’s American accent, and his Bohemian accent as well. I loved the story in this one the best so far. A credit well spent.
