1444 A.D. - Constantine le Brecque a man of many facets. As the bastard son of Henry V, he was raised in secret to protect him from the king's enemies and lived his life knowing that his royal blood was a curse.

But when he falls in love with the wrong woman, the course of his life is irrevocably changed....
Now, Constantine is known as the fearsome English pirate called LEADER OF TITANS, but his experience with his ex-lover wasn't enough to drive him away from women. He loves them, and loves them in droves. Passion, plunder, and pirates his is motto.
Enter Lady Greggoria "Gregg" de Moyon. A pious woman, she was given a sacred object by her husband, an object much sought after by the terrible French pirates who roam the coast between Brittany and England. When her husband is killed by the French pirates on their quest for the treasure, Greggoria must turn to Constantine for help. She knows that only a pirate of equal strength can fight off the French and save her from most certain doom.
Constantine is more than willing to help the beautiful woman with the unusual name. But when he unexpectedly falls for her, the man with more women than a Arab shiek finds that his task has just become unbearably complicated. Can he save Greggoria from the French pirates who want to see her dead? And the mysterious treasure that she is protecting... will it be his destruction?
NOTE: This is Book 2 in the Lords of the Sea pirate series, written by Eliza Knight and Kathryn Le Veque. Eliza Knight's novel, SAVAGE OF THE SEA, is Book One in this series. All books are stand-alones but much more fun if read together!
Constantine had no reason not to believe her. In fact, she’d been very convincing with the entire story except for the fact that she’d seemed unreasonably nervous. He attributed that to the fact that she was basking in his presence, because all women were giddy in his presence, but had he not been so attracted to the woman, he might have been suspicious of her twitching. As it was, all he could see was her beauty and the fact that she was a widow.
That was all he cared about.
A widow had experience in the marital bed and would undoubtedly know how to please a man. At least, that’s what he intended to find out. It was unfortunate that Constantine sometimes let his lust overwhelm his common sense where a woman was concerned, but it was of little matter to him. He knew he could handle whatever came his way. He had confidence borne from a man who had faced death many times and lived to tell the tale.
“Very well, my lady,” he said. “When did you wish to depart?”
“Immediately, my lord. Tomorrow, if possible.”
Constantine didn’t have anything pressing on land that would prevent him from leaving on the morrow. “Then if it is an escort you need, then an escort you shall have,” he said. “You will dine with my men and me tonight and we shall discuss this venture into Wales on the morrow.”
Her eyes widened in astonishment. “We… we will?”
“We will.”
Gregoria was filled with relief as well as disbelief. Was it possible he believed everything she told him? Was this really going to be so easy? Closing the lid on the box, she struggled not to show her depth of relief in his consent. All she wanted him to see was her gratitude.
“Thank you, my lord,” she said sincerely. “You cannot know how appreciative I am.”
“For Miles Tenby’s daughter, I am always willing to do what I can.”
“And I am most appreciative,” she said. “My father spoke most highly of you and I can see that he was correct; you are a man to turn to in times of trouble.”
Blinded by his attraction to the woman, Constantine smiled rather seductively. “Of course I am,” he said. “I owe your father a great deal, so it will be my pleasure to help you finish this quest.”
With shaking hands, hands shaking with the realization that all of the planning and scheming for the past several months would finally come to fruition, Gregoria put the box back into her satchel.
“I am grateful,” she said. It was the truth. “So very grateful.”
That was exactly what Constantine wanted to hear. Grateful women would often demonstrate that gratitude.
