  The Siren’s Song  
  By Jennifer Bray-Weber
  
  Pirate captain Thayer Drake lures ships onto reefs for plunder, and business
  is lucrative. Yet, saving a lass from drowning after her ship wrecks becomes
  more than he bargained for when the crazy wench dives back into the raging sea
  for her blasted purse.
  
  Tavern songstress Gilly McCoy, penniless and fleeing from the man who murdered
  her lover, stowed away on the doomed ship. Now at Drake’s mercy, Gilly must
  earn her passage by performing for the captain. And that is not all: she must
  also kiss the captain at every ring of the ship’s bell. But she discovers
  kissing the handsome rogue is not entirely a bad bargain…
  
  Drake is intrigued by the beauty, but there is no room in his black heart for
  a woman. He has demons that he drinks nightly to forget. Meanwhile, Gilly has
  her own secrets to keep—including why her purse is more valuable to her than
  her life…
