《Virtue and Vice》Author's Note
Advertisement
Hi everyone,
If this is your first time reading this book, welcome to the Cobalt Bay Billionaires series.
I started this series a long time ago and while a little bit of my writing has changed, my love for these characters have not. Be prepared to meet characters you might alternately love and hate, fight for and fight with, admire and admonish. That dilemma is perfectly natural when you get deep into a story that grips you and I hope that's what you find with this book and the rest of the series.
All four books in the series have been completed now and I strongly recommend you read them in order so that any spoilers won't seem like, well, spoilers. LOL.
With the series finished, I'm going to back to the earlier stories and editing a little bit to either align timeline details more accurately and to also update the writing and the tone in some parts. I grew up as a writer with this series and it's natural to let it evolve with me in some small ways. This might mean though that old comments disappear as they do when you edit the paragraphs. I wish there was a different way to do it but I think I can live with it if it means giving you a better story.
This may make some of you uncomfortable but after surveying many of my readers about whether to change this or not, I was surprised by how many agreed that this detail contributes to the overall story in terms of how she handled the situation and how she grows from that point. I think finding something that would change your whole life when you're young and undecided about how your future would look like shapes you irrevocably.
Like many of my stories, the intimate scenes are not shy on details but I don't believe it's anywhere near BDSM or erotica level.
With all that said, enjoy, comment and vote!

Pirates, eyes glued onto to island's wealth and riches, invade the island's capital city: Silvermoon Wharf.Overwhelmed by the outlaw forces, the island's meagre defences stand no chance and hope is seemingly lost. Had it not been for a mysterious old man, chaos would have ensued further. Intrigued by this unsung hero, Cynthia Adams sets out to meet the individual face to face - only to receive a peculiar medallion from the island's obscure saviour, along with the request to restore the distorted balance between light and darkness. All of a sudden exposed to the entirety of the Thirteenth Sea, Cynthia heads down the rocky path of realisation as she comes to terms with the horrifying state of global unrest.
