Dorian and Ileana are thrown together and when Dorian finds out his passenger is the woman he once loved it brings back all the memories of her betrayal.

I would definitely recommend this book.
Pirate Kevin MacAplin has been a pirate since he was stolen from his bed as a young lad. Tied up and dumped on the docks by his older brother that did not like him; then lied to their parents when he came up missing. Rescued by a Pirate Captain and taught all he needed to know to survive, he even as a Captain helped the British when needed. Gailyn Brighton, whose father is one of the wealthiest Lords and a friend of the King, finds his daughter has been kidnapped and enlists Kevin to find her. With the promise of a pardon from the King for his help, at sea he finds the woman aboard his ship; as she was removed from the docks in a trunk by overzealous crew members. Now, what is he too do? How will this affect his pardon and how will they both survive this mistaken adventure?
Awesome
DO YOU BELIEVE IN SECOND CHANCES?
I really loved this book. I have never really been in to SECOND CHANCE ROMANCES, honestly though this book has me rethinking that. Dorian & Ileana shared something WONDERFUL in their youth, after being torn away from each other. That get a Secon Chance but will Dorian “RUIN THE ONLY WOMAN THAT HAS SEEN HIM THROUGH HIS DARKEST DAYS OF HELL?”
Wonderful Book! The Sea Lyon by Hildie McQueen is a wonderful historical pirate novel. The story is original and the characters are great. Hildie has a way in her writing that make both characters and visual come alive. This story has battle, love lost, new love, past pains, sickness, the unknown, kindness, compassion, death, abuse, mutiny and survival. For a quick and easy read I recommend this book. Journey across the sea back in 1718 with Captian Dorian Lyon MacAlpin and Lady Ileana McTavish on the The Madelyn.
***This book was gifted to me and I am voluntarily reviewing.
A fast paced adventure that captures the essence of the dangerous life on the seas. Captain Dorian Lyon, is a pirate that has ruled the seas with his band of brigands. Facing danger in order to visit his ailing mother, he runs into none other than a love from the past. Ileana MacTavish, with her son, is desperate to escape from others, and of all people, has to ask Dorian for safe passage. The two had been parted when Ileana was forced into an arranged marriage but she had never forgotten Dorian. I loved this story filled with danger, strong emotion and a great cast of characters. Prepare to be intrigued and hoping that Ileana and Dorian can find their happy ending. Part of the Pirates of Britannia series, this can be read as a stand alone story but why not read them all? You will be glad you did!!
This is another story of a pirate by chance, as it seems many were, in a series of stand alone tales of the Pirates of Britannia. In this tale, Dorian is the captain of his ship, one of three he owns, and leads under an assumed name as he has a price on his head in Scotland. That reward was placed by the government for a crime committed by him years before as a result of a set of circumstances involving the love of his life, Ileana. Although he never expected to see Ileana again the two are brought together by fate and he must decide if he will continue to hold her responsible for his life or if he loves her enough to be with her. Ileana is in a dangerous spot and needs Dorian’s help, but she has never stopped loving him.
With an interesting cast of characters and intrigue and plenty of heat between the two, I enjoyed the story from start to finish.
I read this as an arc which affected my review in no way at all.
Captain Dorian Lyon is a feared pirate with a reputation for ruthlessness. As a man with a price on his head it could be deadly to visit his family. He is happy at sea and it has made him very wealthy. There is nothing for him on land anymore.
Lleana MacTavish finds herself and her young son in great danger. She must escape before they are killed. They must get passage on the next ship to dock, no matter where it’s going.
A swashbuckling tale full of danger and emotion. It takes us from the islands around Scotland to the Caribbean and back. Our characters history will cause all sorts of complications.
A thoroughly enjoyable novella.
