THE CAPTAIN'S COURTESAN by Melissa MacNeal:

When Capt. Damon Delacroix, privateer extraordinaire, hires on to escort an English nobleman’s two daughters to the colony of New York as brides-to-be, he finds a stowaway in his quarters: Sofia Martine has always dreamed of adventure on the seas and life in America! Damon orders her back to the girls’ ship, saying she’ll be too much of a distraction. His rules state that any man bringing a woman aboard The Courtesan is to be hanged.

But Sofia’s no fool! She has overheard the Captain’s plans to be attacked by Blackbeard--to barter the girls’ dowries in exchange for their lives, and split the profits later. She knows too much, so Damon confines her as a slave to sold at the next port--except the notorious, randy Blackbeard snatches her for himself!

If Damon wins Sofia back, will his crew vote him out as their captain? Will they hang him for bringing her aboard as his woman? It seems the buxom beauty--The Captain’s Courtesan--has turned the tables on him, and Damon has become her servant...a slave to her adventurous spirit and fine, fine body.

TIES THAT BIND by Donna Grant:

A lustful, dominating queen has the tables turned on her when she’s sold as a sex slave to the very man she was supposed to marry.

Queen Jarina wants only to end the war with Pereth that has taken her parents and many of her people. When she refuses a proposal from her uncle to marry the king of Pereth to end the war, her uncle she shouldn't be on the throne and sales her as a sex slave. Who knew the king of Pereth would be the one to purchase her?

Or that she would come to beg for his caress.

IN HIS BED by Annalise Russell:

Free of servitude to a raiding Viking, Chessa has looked forward to going home for the last ten years. But home waits across a dangerous sea. So at the end of her first day of freedom, Chessa strikes a daring bargain with Bodin, the son of the Viking she has been debted to these last years. She will serve his needs as payment for passage home.

Bodin never agreed with his father’s harsh ways. And as such, he kept a quiet eye on the small, red-haired captive during her tenure of service to his family, making certain nothing unfortunate happened to her. Much to his surprise, she approaches him with an irresistible bargain – her soft, sweet body in his bed as payment for passage on his ship.

But the homecoming Chessa has longed for since childhood leaves her devastated. And worse yet, she has been marked as a traitor by her own people. Will she accept her fate, or agree to a new bargain Bodin has laid at her feet? One that takes her back with the Vikings – forever.
