Deception

Pirating is a dangerous occupation suited for those who want to live merrily, and briefly. Following the events in the book Mirage, Capt. Lex Bennet, newly of the Christian faith, thinks she may have lost her taste for the violence and uncertainty the pirating life brings. But what does that mean for her ship, and her crew?

She already dodged a bullet when her identity as a woman, carefully concealed her whole life, was revealed. Her crew had embraced her, but was it only because of her cunning tactics and good fortune at procuring wealth for them in the rich waters of the Caribbean Sea? What will happen when they discover she intends to leave the life and take her beloved sloop Mirage with her?

Lex plays a perilous game, balancing relationships with her fiance Benjamin, her best friend Glenn, and her deceitful crew as she navigates in unfamiliar waters--a journey not everyone aboard the Mirage will survive.
