Smuggler's Blues — Cindy Jacks

Book two in the Pirates at Heart series.

The year is 2017 and all is quiet on the eastern front. Good news for the war-weary Republic of Texas…bad news for weapons-smuggling pirate Captain Brett Logan.

Logan's been a surly handful since war's end -- not to mention a rather perfunctory lover -- and his wife Kate has had about enough. When an illicit business venture falls in his lap, Logan is eager to get back to outrunning and out-gunning the enemy navy.

Kate becomes an unwilling participant in Logan's criminal enterprise, but surrounded by excitement and danger, he's the roguish daredevil she fell in love with. Their passion for each other burns hotter than ever -- spurred on by the thrill of the chase. As she learns more about Logan's wild side, Kate finds herself craving him body and soul as love, sex and adventure finally rid Logan of those pesky smuggler's blues.
