  Finding love on a pirate's ship... 
  The ever-lovable Esme Forsyth has taken desperate steps to save her late father's reputation. But she never suspected someone would try to murder her for it. Luckily, a handsome and braw Highlander offers his protection. In fact, he insists. But he's not just brave, he's nosey. And if he solves too many mysteries before they reach landfall, he might solve her right out of the safe and pleasant life that awaits her. 
  Tremayne Watson relishes the adventure before him, and is keen to collect his ultimate reward. He scoffs at the warning that the past cannot be changed. But when he finds himself on an 18th century ship, he'll find the warning might just break his heart. He's wearing the shoes of Doctor Watson, but he'll have to see through the eyes of Sherlock Holmes in order to unmask a determined assasin. 
  Will he solve the mystery before the witch takes back his mortality? Or will he find a way to save the woman he loves before she is consigned once more to history?

  His great body stretched on the dirt floor in a shady corner of the barracks-room of the presidio … a fortified military settlement … his long moustache drooped, his big mouth open, Sergeant Carlos Cassara snored.His face was purple from wine and the heat; for the air was still and stagnant this siesta hour, and empty vessels on the table nearby told of the deep drinking that had been done.Scattered about were a corporal and a dozen soldiers, all sleeping and snoring. Against the wall, half a score of feet from the slumbering sergeant, an Indian neophyte … a new entrant … had dropped his palm-leaf and was glancing around the room from beneath eyelids that seemed about to close.Outside was the red dust, a foot deep on the highway, and the burning sun. The fountain before the mission splashed lazily; down at the beach it seemed that the tide had not its usual energy. Neophytes slept in the shadows cast by the mission walls. Here and there a robed friar went about his business despite the heat and the hour. There was no human being traveling El Camino Real—the king’s highway—as far as a man with good eyes could see. You can hear the whole story.

  The Snow-Burner is what the Native Americans called Reivers, and it was a rough and tumble life in the land where Reivers chose to live up to his name. The name was attributed to Reivers upon his proof after arriving in the north country because of his ability to defeat all perceived enemies in whatever means was necessary; whether by brute force and tough action, or by sheer cunning which he had gained living in the city in his earlier days. When assigned to oversee a group of foreigners in a work camp, he treated them with utter cruelty. When in search of an unknown source of gold, he found it necessary to combine his cunning with his forceful ways, proving his worthiness of the title given him. (Introduction by Roger Melin)
