Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope you’ve made your plans and are looking forward to the big day. But if you are not, if you hate Valentine’s Day, know you are not alone. The heroine from my new book, The Rogue Pirate’s Bride, is not a fan of Valentine’s Day either. In fact, Raeven isn’t much of a fan of Bastien, my hero. She’s an admiral’s daughter and hates pirates, Bastien in particular. She’d rather kill him than kiss him, and she has good reason. Bastien wouldn’t mind kissing Raeven, and he has been known to take a liberty or two. But what do you expect from a rogue pirate? I managed to turn up some scraps of “love” letters between these two. I hope you enjoy!
Violets are blue.
Roses are pink.
I could not read your letter,
I spilt rum on the ink.
Ma cherie, I can guess what you say,
You wish to kiss me all night and all day.
I did catch a mention of your dear sword.
If you want it back, please climb aboard.
Your father will rail, your friends be appalled,
But I assure you, ma belle, sated you will be sprawled.
Revenge should be sweet, but it may cost him everything…The marquis de Valère escaped certain death in the French Revolution and is now an infamous privateer. Out to avenge the death of his mentor, Bastien discovers himself astonishingly out of his depth when confronted with a beautiful, daring young woman who is out for his blood…
Forgiveness is unthinkable, but it may be her only hope…
British Admiral’s daughter Raeven Russell believes Bastien responsible for her fiancé’s death. But once the fiery beauty crosses swords with Bastien, she’s not so sure she really wants him to change his wicked ways…

This poem is really funny Shana. Thanks for making me laugh. I'd love to read "The Rogue Pirate's Bride".
Thank you for another chance at winning.
LOL... love the poem! Very tongue in cheek :) thanks for a lovely post and giveaway! I'm really looking forward to reading this book as I just finished Lord and Lady Spy and *loved* it :)
That definitely sounds like a Rogue Pirate, lol. I can't wait to read more about him. It wasn't until I started reading historical romances that I saw the attraction of pirates.
I could not read your letter,
I spilt rum on the ink. LOL love love love.
Can't wait to read :)

"Your father will rail, your friends be appalled,

Eek. Very funny. That has to be first use of appalled, and sprawled together as rhyming words. Love it.
I don't know if this guy is conceited or convinced LOL! Can't wait to read Raeven's letter to Bastien!
Thanks for stopping by, Betty!
Thanks so much, Mrsshurka!
Oh, thanks, Carol. You know Bastien and Armand are twins :-)
Thanks, Tin! I am not much of a poet. Good thing Bastien is.
Thanks, May!
Joanne, I hope it's funny in some spots. I like to think it has humor and emotion. Thanks for stopping by.
Any time, Diane. Good luck!
Thanks, Erin. So glad you enjoyed Lord and Lady Spy.
Loved the poem, very funny!!
June, I've always wanted to write a pirate romance. But I definitely only like fictional pirates!
Thanks, Sharon! :-)
Thanks, Gayle. I might have had to check a rhyming dictionary for that one!
LadyRed, he has a bit of an ego. Raeven will set him straight.
Thanks, Myra!
Thanks Shana. I'm keeping my fingers and everything else crossed dear.
Congratulations on the new book. You've been busy on your blog tour.

I love this letter! Bastien sounds so....awesome. And that's saying something with Julien and Armand as older brothers!
Oh how I love Bastien! What a great sense of humor. And he will need it since he has Raeven!
