Summary

When ruthless sea raiders burn his world to ashes and steal the woman he loves.
 
A desperate captain must join forces with a man branded a pirate himself.
 
Plunge into the Golden Age of Piracy (1690-1720), where the treacherous waters of the Cape of Good Hope are just the beginning of a worldwide adventure.
 
On the smoldering African coast, Captain Gascon Dumont’s life is torn apart. Betrayed by cunning corsairs, his fort lies in ruins and his beloved Minette has vanished. His only hope lies in Oloff van Wagenaar. A man hunted as a pirate, yet driven to clear his name from the very atrocities that plague the seas.
 
Bound by fire and betrayal, the two men forge a fragile alliance to track their enemies from the treacherous Deelen Bay to the deadly waters of the Indian Ocean. But as their chase intensifies, loyalties are tested and vengeance becomes personal. When Oloff’s own love is taken, the hunt spirals into a vendetta that will push both men to the brink.
 
With every battle, the stakes rise. A powerful Count’s capture could ignite war, and Oloff’s reputation as a pirate may finally consume him.
 
Packed with swashbuckling sea battles, dangerous intrigue, and high-stakes drama, Scum of the Seas is perfect for fans of Rafael Sabatini’s Captain Blood, Bernard Cornwell’s naval adventures, and the intrigue of Black Sails.
 
Book three of the Oloff the Sea Pirate saga. Set sail today and plunge into a storm of revenge, betrayal, and survival on the high seas!

    Fifty-something Henry Bradbury's life is in free fall. His marriage has failed, he's about to lose his City job, and he now finds himself excitingly but dangerously out of his depth as an unlikely agent of the British secret intelligence services. His therapist, Dr Nea Solomon, is the only person he can trust.
    Henry's confession of spying on Russians in London doesn't get the reaction he expects. Nea has her own dark secrets to guard and refuses to see her patient again. Now frightened and on his own, a chain of events leads to murder. Having stumbled upon a poison at the heart of the British establishment, Henry fears for his life and decides to lie low at his holiday home in Lisbon. He spends winter in hiding, preparing for the conflict that he knows is looming. A Russian killer catches up with him and a terrifying chase across Europe ensues. He must fade to grey, go off-grid and tramp home to England. Staying just one step ahead, he joins forces with Nea and Felicity Smith, formerly MI6's most senior female officer, previously "buried" by Nea in witness protection in Cornwall. Together, they uncover a plot hatched at Eton College forty years earlier. But who can they trust?

    Moonlight dances across her bare skin, and a shooting star flies across the sky. And while the young woman’s eyes are open and facing upward, they no longer see anything… 
    Detective Madison Knight is about to get married when detectives from a neighboring city storm the wedding and arrest her fiancé, Troy Matthews. He’s being charged for the murder of his childhood friend Dylan Graham, recently shot to death in his home. But the motive dates back to a fateful night from twenty-four years ago when seventeen-year-old Emily Kane was raped and strangled at a beach party. 
    Police claim that Dylan had plans to expose Troy for the crime even though another friend was convicted for it and sent to prison for twenty-four years. With that friend recently released, Madison suspects that he may be framing Troy to take the fall, some sort of vengeance for not saving him from going to prison. But when he also turns up murdered, Troy again becomes the prime suspect. 
    With evidence mounting against him, Madison is determined to prove her fiancé is innocent, but what troubles her the most is that all of Troy’s friends from that time are being picked off one by one. That means Troy might be the killer’s next target, but it’s not just his life on the line when she discovers the twisted killer is stalking her. 
    This addictive heart-pounding crime thriller is perfect for fans of Angela Marsons, Lisa Regan, and Leslie Wolfe.

    With nobody left on her side except her dog (and even he's getting a little mad), Minerva will have to risk everything to reveal the truth and unmask a killer. Her almost perfect new life might just depend on it.
