Michael's Story - The Florida Irish #5

Suzanne D. Williams

Summary

Michael stopped cold. He caught eyes with Gerritt and reversed. They had to go home, away from this place, back to the warmth and safety of walls built by love, not hate. Hate had never done his dad any good, and hate had led him to this. 
----- 
Michael O’Fallen, son of the Man with the Golden Voice, has always been told by others that his singing was better than his father’s. Yet so far in his young life, his father hasn’t acknowledged it.  
His love life, too, seems to be falling short. Jenny Finnegan, who he’s loved for years, won’t give him the time of day. 
Then an offer comes to perform in a series of concerts across the nation, and he knows it’s his time for greatness. But rash actions done in the dead of night have far-reaching consequences that, when seen in the light, might destroy the very man who’s given him the most – his father.

Stranger at the Grove

Mary Kingswood

An estranged brother is forced to return to his home and face up to his past. 
Malcolm Gage walked out of his brother’s life sixteen years ago when they both wanted to marry the same woman. Malcolm lost that battle, and he’s never forgiven his brother for it, preferring to live in poverty as a schoolmaster rather than swallow his pride and go home. But now an unusual condition in a will pushes him back into the family fold. If he can teach his nephew well enough to admit him to the Society of Gentleman Linguists, he will inherit a fortune and will never be poor again. The only catch — he has to stay under his brother’s roof for three months. 
But there’s an unexpected benefit to his return to Great Maeswood, in the delightful shape of Marie Fournier, a French lady’s maid. She speaks no English, and no one else in the village has bothered to get to know her. But Malcolm sees in her a kindred spirit, another outsider, and recruits her to help him with his teaching. As he gets to know her better, however, he begins to wonder if she’s all she seems to be… 
This is a complete story with a happy ever after. Book 2 of a 6 book series. A traditional Regency romance, drawing room rather than bedroom.

Hell Ship - The Flying Dutchman...

Ben Hammott

When an ancient document, written by Tom Hardy, the cabin boy aboard the Fortuyn, surfaces, it reveals he was the sole survivor of the stricken Dutch East India vessel and the gruesome events he witnessed that claimed both vessel and crew.
Because the terrible events he witnessed onboard were too fantastical to be believed, Tom kept the truth a secret. However, in an attempt to quell his reoccurring nightmares, he wrote down the events leading to the demise of the crew and the Fortuyn.
It is believed by some that the Fortuyn is the lost ship that haunts the seas and has become known as The Flying Dutchman.
Centuries after Tom's death, and keeping his original title The true catastrophic events of the Fortuyn as witnessed by Tom Hardy, the sole survivor from the aforementioned vessel, the truth can, at last, be revealed.
A ghost ship, also known as a phantom ship, is a vessel with no living crew aboard. These encompass ghostly vessels from folklore and fiction, such as the Flying Dutchman, or a derelict found adrift with its crew missing or dead, like the Mary Celeste.
In maritime folklore, the ghost ship, the Flying Dutchman, has had an impact like no other lost vessel. It has inspired numerous paintings, films, books, opera, etc. The alleged captain, Van der Decken, was on a heading for the East Indies when a ferocious storm overwhelmed them. With sheer determination, he tried to steer his ship through the hostile weather conditions the Cape of Good Hope was famous for but failed miserably even after he vowed to drift until doomsday. Legend declares that since then, ship and crew have been cursed to sail the oceans for eternity.
To this day, hundreds of sailors are credited to having witnessed the Flying Dutchman continuing its never-ending voyage across the waters.
Tom's story of the Flying Dutchman, however, is considerably more chilling…
