Author Biography: Cynthia Zeuli

Book Synopsis

"An unapologetic swashbuckling adventure brimming with all the trappings of pirate lore; sword-play, romance, voodoo, long-lost treasure. Cynthia Zeuli weaves a tale that's historical and fanciful. Her characters are intriguing and faceted, her world grounded, yet supernatural. And her pirates are sinful, likeable, and daring-making this book a wonderfully guilty pleasure for the rogue in us all." -Bilgemunky.com

A Haunting Yarn of Passion and Mayhem!

For infamous pirate Captain Tessa Santiago, all seems lost-her beloved husband Craig, also a pirate and fellow captain, has been caught by the Royal Navy and hanged. Unbelievably, the Naval Commander who hunted him down and executed him was his own identical twin brother, Alex.

However, even after the hangman's rope snapped Craig's neck, he refused to die. Though his body died, by a mysterious quirk of fate, his spirit survived. He finds himself inhabiting the body of his twin brother, eager to be reunited with his wife.

That is, until a voodoo woman accidentally knocks him out of his new body. And the only way for him to get back inside his brother's body to live again is to journey to an uncharted island, where the legendary pirate treasure of Boca Roja is said to lie buried.

But Craig isn't the only one who refuses to die. The ruthless Captain Culverin Slattery, who originally killed Tessa's family and took her prisoner and abused her so long ago, whom she believed she had killed, decides to exact his murderous revenge on them both-and claim the treasure of Boca Roja for himself!
