Read an excerpt

On summer vacation from grad school, Shelley Hanover takes part in a modern-day treasure hunt on a newly discovered Spanish galleon off the Florida Keys. During the dive, Shelley finds a silver bangle, and when the clasp opens, she is swept into a sudden water vortex—and into the arms of a sexy-as-sin pirate.

Captain Jason Flint finds a woman floating in the wreckage of his latest victory, strangely dressed and wearing a sex-slave band. He decides to keep her as his private pleasure captive, and they enjoy each other’s hot flesh as they sail the cool Caribbean waters. But when a rival captain kidnaps Shelley, Jason realizes he’s lost something greater than any pirate treasure.

4 Stars, JERR - “Sea Hawk’s Mistress was a fun blast-from-the-past...This was a terrific, sexy little romance...The romance is sweet and tender; the sex scenes are vanilla with a touch of dominance and bondage. Sea Hawk’s Mistress was good to the last drop and would be a terrific story to read when you have a bit of extra time on your hands.”

4 Blue Ribbons, Romance Junkies - LaCroix's storyline is fun and enchanting! Her description of Jason's reaction to a beautifully groomed woman of the 20th century is humorous as well as arousing. LaCroix's time travel stories always fulfill the daydreams I have, asking the question...'what would it be like if?' Whether it's a woman claiming a gladiator in ancient Rome or a woman captured by a sexy pirate, LaCroix always most satisfyingly provides the answer!"

4.5 Blue Ribbons, Romance Junkies - "Set in ancient Rome, LaCroix’s tale of love, death and intrigue is very entertaining! Julia struggles with adapting to the harsh reality that is Rome while fighting her growing affection for Marcus. Her struggle is matched only by the overwhelming passion she feels for the beautiful Gladiator. LaCroix’s erotic love scenes leave nothing to the imagination—as it should be! She certainly had me waving a fan to keep my cool! Anyone who ever imagined what it would be like to live in ancient Rome—or anyone who drools over Gladiator movies—would be very well off taking time with this quick, enjoyable read."
