The Laird's Reckoning
(2017)(The sixth book in the Romancing the Pirate series)
A novel by Jennifer Bray-Weber
Pirate or Laird... ?
Birk Bane was born the second son, the unwanted son, the unneeded son. Crossed by family and falsely accused of a crime, he flees Scotland to the sea where he's recruited by a pirate. Five years later, he's captain of his own ship and embraces his new life, though an ache for the woman he left behind remains. When he receives word of his father's death and his clan is floundering, Birk begrudgingly returns home. Little does he know there's more he left behind than a title... much more.
Sheena MacRae helped Birk escape to safety years ago, always expecting he'd return. Time passes and she believes him to be dead. With her clan being terrorized and slaughtered, she accepts she is the only one who can stop the suffering by agreeing to marry Laird Gordon, the man behind the assaults. The man who is also poised to rule Birk's clan. Despite the crushing need to hold Birk in her arms once more, his reappearance changes nothing. Sheena has too much to lose if she reneges the betrothal to Gordon. And while Birk's intentions are to return to the sea after reclaiming his clan, she didn't count on her pirate lover's plan for revenge...
The longer he's home, the more betrayal Birk uncovers. There will be a fiery battle ahead for Birk and his brethren. If he survives, how will he choose between the life he loves and the love of his life?
