Description
The Kraken’s Mirror, book 1
Captain Alan Silvestri is a man haunted by a strange curse. Good luck is his to command, but it comes at the cost of a place to call home or people to reckon as family. Resigned to die and shunned by all, he is forced to sail every three days, until he begins to experience sensual dreams of a special woman.
Treated by our youth-oriented society as invisible and sexless, Emily Pawes is ready to move on. She attends a pirate festival, hoping to recapture the make-believe magic she knew as a young woman. She wins an interesting bit of booty at a brick-a-brac stand, and is transported by the Kraken’s mirror to a land of Hollywood piratitude. With little choice, she embraces the madness. Playing pirate has to be safer than falling into the arms of handsome Captain Silvestri, right?
When they meet, sparks fly, passion flares. He needs her to be free, but more than that, she will make him whole. Setting sail and uncertain of who actually controls the wheel, they seek ways to defeat his curse of good luck and discover the Kraken’s mirror has plans for them. Will Emily stay in this pirate haven to fight alongside him or will he lose her because of his curse?

*****
“Maureen O. Betita's inventive paranormal features vampires and zombies and an alternate reality Caribbean, oh my! Readers will cheer for the plucky, out-of-the-box heroine and the sexy pirate captain who's determined to 'shiver her timbers,' despite the curse that dogs him.” ~ Emily Bryan, Pleasuring the Pirate
“An adventure-filled book, set in an interesting world that is a blend of contemporary miracles of technology, steampunkish atmosphere, magic and pirates. Her world is certainly unique.” ~ InD’Tale Magazine
“It's not easy writing a time travel story and being able to have everything mesh as well as Ms. Betita was able to do. I couldn't put it down! It was surprisingly romantic, very sensual and the love scenes were delicious.” The Romance Studio
