Sea of Gold — Adam Hardy

HONOR OF GOLD?

His dreams are shattered, his vain hopes for a high post to the British navy fading. He has long since surpassed all expectations for a lowly Thames marshboy, and further promotion is next to impossible -- despite his spectacular accomplishments.

Only one chance for greatness remains. As Fox eyes his golden booty, the idea grows… He will forsake the navy and become a pirate, and adventurer of fortune. It is not an honorable profession. However, Fox sails under his own code of honor.

But the discovery of a sinking French corvette and its cargo of beautiful Turkish harem girls changes everything. Suddenly Fox finds a new chance for honor -- and an entirely new sort of temptation. The would-be privateer becomes the protector and the peacemaker. He will sail home in glory… Or will he?
