The Brocade #5
Linna
A life ruled by vengeance.
A game called deception.
A world where the heartless triumph.
Western Caribbean 1811
Sent to hell with his future stolen, sixteen-year-old Cord had few choices—none of them pretty. Years of slaving for the British Navy honed his frame. The strong survive, so he got strong. The most brutal prosper... he gained brutality. Only the truly heartless win. And he wasn't losing. He had one goal—revenge. Turning mutineer and pirate was another choice. An easy one. The career change gained him a price on his head, but it also brought freedom, and that gave him the means.
Cord will do anything to get revenge. Anything. When the pirate captain offers pay for seducing and then ruining an innocent, it sounds too easy.
Linna Daniels is a society darling. Rich. Spoiled. Beautiful. Pursued by all the eligible bachelors. Her cold demeanor only sharpens desire. But then her father's actions change everything. Overnight she's outcast. Locked in scandal she didn't create. Her marital prospects ruined. Her life at a standstill.
Linna is not taking this without a fight. She needs an escape. A husband. A dupe. She doesn't care who—or what—he is. She's known as cold and heartless. It's time to prove it.

About the author
Jackie Ivie
90 books242 followersJackie Ivie was born and raised in a suburb outside Utah's capital, beautiful Salt Lake City. The second in a family of four daughters and one son, Jackie was constantly amusing her siblings with her invented games, escapades, and stories. And she was always reading. She would even walk the family dog, with one hand holding the leash, while the other held the ever-present book. No subject went unread, but once she discovered Historical Romances, there was no doubting her favorite genre.
Jackie has always been the busy type, rarely sitting still without being occupied in at least one activity, and usually more. When she was younger, it was nothing to find her watching television, while doing her homework, listening to music, crocheting like a madwoman, and reading, all at the same time.
After graduating, Jackie gained secure employment with a large service company and relocated with her growing family to the neighboring, sparsely-populated state of Wyoming. She then spent several years enjoying the wildlife, scenery, and open space that Wyoming is known for. In addition to writing, Jackie is an accomplished artist in several mediums, preferring mixed media. She has several pictures in print and has exhibited in art showings throughout the West. There was never anything she loved doing more than reading, however, and once she discovered the thrill involved with putting her own words and fantasies on paper there was no stopping her.
In 2001, Jackie and her family took a huge step and moved to the largest state of the nation; Alaska. Although it was her job that brought her here, Jackie has grown to love this land of amazing contrasts, breathtaking vistas, and the ever-present resident, the Alaskan moose. There's nothing else like it, and the very long days of summer lend themselves to hours and hours of energizing tasks, while the long winter nights are just right for her real love...writing.
Jackie has now written thirteen novels and is continually starting more. The thrill of writing has now been enhanced by seeing her actual story in print. Lady of the Knight is her first published work. It will be followed by Tender is the Knight scheduled for release this summer.
