Siren
Cheryl Sawyer

From the coral beaches of the Caribbean islands to the colorful streets of New Orleans, Siren is an epic of high seas adventure, passion, intrigue and war that will leave you breathless in its wake ...

Jean Laffite was a pirate of brutal reputation. A black- eyed sea gypsy, he was legendary for his plundering of ships and seduction of women.

A pirate's daughter, Léonore Roncival inspired her own brand of whispered innuendo. Her island was rumored to be awash in treasure. Her beauty was thought to lure men to the peaks of ecstasy-and to their doom. Even Jean Laffite could not ignore her call ...

Siren

Laffite came to raid her home. Instead he risked his heart. And as the aftershocks of Napoleonic war reached America, their passionate conflict drove them between two nations, into the Battle of New Orleans.
