The Pirate's Deal

Everything changes when the Ice Mer King says, “I want you to kill my daughter.” ~~~~ Erik I am the Pirate of Death. I have spent my life on the seas, maintaining my reputation as one of the most fearsome pirates to ever sail the waters in Aranthium. Then, the Ice Mer King makes a deal with me. Kill his daughter, and my life-debt is paid. Fail, and my life is forfeit. Sounds easy, right? If only the princess didn’t have such a talent for getting under my skin and consuming my thoughts. ~~~~ Helena My father trades my voice for legs I don't want. A whole month on a human-only crew doesn’t sound like my idea of fun. What I want is love, safety and family. Somehow, I find myself tangled up with a dangerous Pirate whose fate lies in my hands. Falling in love with him is exciting, effortless. But I don’t want to be owned by anyone.
