A Pirate's Wife (authorlynelleclark.blogspot.com)
Blurb:
Rosa Lee Almaida lived a sheltered and
carefree life as a child. That changed when she and her mother experienced a
horrific ordeal on the seas. Shipwrecked, survival in the heart of Africa became
paramount. The only joy came after she met her adoptive father, a man honored
by all sailors on sea and land for his bravery and unconditional love. He
became her hero, the role model of her own husband to be. Now, twenty years
later, forced to return to the seas that took the life of her birth father and
so many others, she must learn to survive once more.
Abducted from her parent’s castle in
Portugal, Rosa Lee Almaida becomes part of a ransom to The Falcon, a brutal
Pirate King on the Island of Madagascar, in exchange for her younger brother
Pedro’s life.
She comes face to face with The Falcon’s
son, Roberto de Ville, a man as fierce as his illustrious father but who has
his own hidden agenda. During the voyage, she learns to admire Roberto for his
leadership and skill, but can she overlook his pirate exterior to see the man
for who he is?
Through the inscriptions her parents left
in their diaries, she learns about love and survival while trusting for a good
outcome. In an unexpected turn of events, she learns she must trust Roberto unconditionally,
hoping they will spare her life. She gives herself over to the love and
intimacy of the man she now craves.
Taking Rosa Lee from Portugal, Roberto
brings her to the Falcon on the Isle of St Mary. Enchanted by the stories told
to him by her brother, he knows that Rosa Lee is destined to be his. Listening
to her and seeing her bravery, he knows this is the woman he has waited for all
his life. He will give up the dangerous life of a pirate, but first he must set
an intricate plan into motion that will change his life forever. He, along with
Pierre, his second in command, rush against time to bring the plan to fruition.
In the end, Rosa Lee discovers a valuable lesson that startles her: NEVER JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER.

Blurb:
Two roads. One choice.
Anabella Anthony found she was alone
in the world at eighteen. Early on, she made a choice; to live an ordinary life
away from the lifestyle her parents preferred. However, they had plans for her;
they wanted her to become a part of their choices.
All she wanted was a regular household,
with normal day to day issues like her peers, parents she could respect, and
who above anything else would accept her for the person she is. Torn
between dreams that filled her mind with alluring effects and uncomfortable
events which tried to sway her, she had to come to a resolution: find peace and
stay true to her convictions.
Through it all, she excelled in her
sport; a dedicated student who falls in love with a much older man. Will she
give in to her body's desires, or will she remain steadfast in her
own choices? Can she find the courage to stand amidst the turmoil
wanting to drag her down? And most importantly, will she ever forgive those who
meant to harm her?
Aldrich Hagin, a lawyer, is ready
to settle down. After a tragic loss he experienced right
after university he is now, more than ever, ready to move on and
start a family. And then he meets a young, energetic, lively woman
who turns his life and heart around. Will he be willing to
sacrifice his own desires and wait? Can he help her and be the anchor she
so desperately needs? Confronted with his own decisions, the choice is his
as to whether he’ll stay or leave. What will he decide?
A love story filled with decisions both have to make; to stand against all odds and remain true to oneself. Will they make the right decisions?

Oorsig
Die mengsel van tale het ʼn groot rol gespeel in die skepping van die taal wat ons vandag ken. Afrikaans is gevorm in die warm kombuise en wye vlaktes van ons mooi land en het vir vele interessante oomblikke gesorg.
1815 is gekenmerk deur aanpassings, afstande en onluste. In die midde hiervan het Celeste Reyneke geleef. Op haar agtiende verjaarsdag verander haar lewe dramaties en eindig op in ‘n gerieflikheidshuwelik. Twee jaar later moet sy die wêreld weer alleen in die gesig staar en beland op die Oosgrens. Die tweejaar-lange huwelik was alles behalwe maanskyn en rose en eindig traumaties. Ontnugterd volg sy die pad die binneland in.
Celeste het grootgeword in die Kaap van Storms met ʼn oop gemoed en lus vir die lewe. Sy kon lees en skryf en het ʼn ‘beroep’ gehad. Vir haar het dit natuurlik gekom om die tyd en reëls te verander soos wat die geleentheid hom voorgedoen het. Haar unieke talente kom dadelik op die voorgrond en gou besef mense sy is ʼn aanwins vir die gemeenskap. Maar sy het ook die koppe laat draai. Met die tekort aan vroue en haar natuurlike skoonheid trek sy die aandag.
Barend Olivier, die toonbeeld van manlikheid en dapperheid, is op soek na ʼn vrou wat sal aanpas by sy lewe aan die Oosgrens. Tydens ʼn tweeweke-lange patrollie leer die twee mekaar ken. Maar die pad is lank, warm en rof en ʼn man kan net so lank van ʼn aantreklike vrou af wegbly voor die fisiese begeertes oorneem. Sal hulle betyds ʼn prediker kan vind?
Die belangrikste vraag is: Sal Celeste hom toelaat om haar lief te hê?
Ek nooi jou om saam met my op hierdie reis te gaan en nie net die spanning van hierdie tydperk te ervaar nie, maar ook die romanse te vind in die grasvlaktes van ons mooi land.

Blurb
Their enemies tried to
outsmart them. Obedience their only defence.
Whisked to picturesque Valletta, a lonely nurse
met her soul connection. It set the bar in a stirring plot of spiritual and
physical survival as a determined warlord in Africa and a cunning wife in
America trapped them. The healing sands of Iraq, their only hope.
Passionate about her
work, war-torn South Sudan offered Sonia Main peace. When a man from her past
confronted her, she had a choice to make. A choice that would influence her
life.
Could Sonia let go of the past? Would her dreams
continue to haunt her? Or would the warm sun of Africa burn away her fears?
Curt McGee was a man
bound by honour and duty. It took him away from home for long periods of time.
Caught in infidelity, Curt's wife left him stunned.
His children prey to an unthinkable enemy.
Would he get beyond his wife's
betrayal?
Could he save his children?
Co-workers booked a flight for
each to enjoy a weekend in Malta. It offered tranquillity and peace to weary
souls.
Two worlds connect, and the
result would change them both for eternity.
Love confronted them, not
to be denied. But time played a trick and demanded a price. A price that would
strip them of everything before they could experience the joy of a future.
Obedience was better
than sacrifice, revealed the Holy Book. Would they yield or follow their own
way?
They couldn’t run or hide from the onslaught. Their
enemies' attacks growing in intensity. Crafty tricks added to the confusion,
their fears real. It stripped them of their hopes and dreams. They could only
go one way.
When Tau Gbadamosi met
Sonia, he had a tough time understanding his feelings. War ravished his
country. The enormous plight for help too great for one man or one fight. Faced
with loyalty, he had to decide. Would he fail the test?
Africa's hopes and dreams
burned brightly in the harsh sun. Poverty and lack the driving force for many
‘do-gooders’. But when a warlord sets his sight on the Red Cross nurse, all
hell broke loose. No one could stand in his way.
Only God could stop him.
