Product Description
From the Author
A dream come true...
I have wanted to be a writer ever since I was in grammar school, and at last that dream has come true with the publication of my first book, ONCE A MISTRESS. It is the story of a would-be pirate who must choose between avenging his brother's murder or the love of a strong, courageous woman. Author Miranda Jarrett has this to say about ONCE A MISTRESS: "What a debut for Debra Mullins! Once a Mistress is a lusty, swashbuckling delight for everyone who wishes Errol Flynn still ruled the seas."

Format:Mass Market Paperback
In 1680 Jamaica, Alex Rothstone, renowned as the pirate El Moreno, enters the garden of Frederick Covington, in order to talk with Lieutenant Governor Henry Morgan. Alex plans to inform his superior that Lord Chilton, part owner of Fleetwood shipping, is working with the odious pirate Marcus. Instead of gaining Morgan's attention, Alex intercedes when Chilton begins to touch his business partner, Covington's daughter, Diana, over her objections.
Alex, who is also Lord Rothstone, has a personal vendetta against Marcus, who killed his brother. His need for vengeance rises when Marcus abducts Diana for his employer Chilton. Alex rescues her and she offers her body to him if he would help prove her father is not involved with the evil Marcus. They fall in love, but their enemies are very powerful and the hanging of a pirate is a simple matter to arrange.
Fans who enjoy a swashbuckling pirate romance will take pleasure from Debra Mullins' debut novel, ONCE A MISTRESS. The action-packed story line smoothly flows with passion and intrigue. The lead characters are warm and witty. Though the villains do not live up to the hero and heroine, readers who relish a trip on the high seas during the age of piracy will devour Ms. Mullin's stew.

I enjoyed reading it! The characters were well built. Alex was a great hero and and just had a great personality! And Diana was a great heroine, she could defend herself and was smart. Alex and Diana were perfect together. The Bad guy was not one of those stupid ones,but smart,cunning, and totally detestable! you really hated him! The supporting characters were great! The story was action packed, funny, and a great story! I can't wait till she comes out with other books! I hope she keeps on writing! -Amanda

I'm sorry to say it -- disappointing.
I bought this book hoping for a delightful romance with the added spice of adventure. What I got instead was an odd hybrid with far too many cliches. Read more

I want some more of that...
This was a knock-out first book. Humourous, full of adventure and intrigue, and perfect chemistry made this romance a pleasure to read. I can't wait for more Debra Mullins!
