The Phantom’s Lair

Jack Stanton, the Phantom, is hunted by the Royal Navy and haunted by his past. Arriving at the pirate port of Tortuga, he sets out to locate a place to secretly secure his ship. What he finds is something totally different: a beautiful buccaneer in the midst of a duel with a drunken sailor. Being the man that he is, Jack ensures that she is not taken advantage of and in the process awakens his heart. Running into her again, Jack is met with a woman very different than the one he remembers. Struggling with his emotions for her, Jack must face his past to save her. Will Jack be able to save Katheryn and if he does, what could it cost him? Will Katheryn see the Phantom for who he really is?

Denyse M. Bridger has written a short story about facing the past in order to have a future. Katheryn’s desire to live her life as she chooses adds a nice twist to this story. Jack is an honorable man whose life has become something other than he planned. Jack will find himself making some hard decisions in regards to Katheryn’s safety and their hearts. The chemistry between Jack and Katheryn is instant, but the passion that follows is both breathtaking and touching. The Phantom’s Lair is a touching pirate story for anyone that likes one about the slightly bad guy getting the good girl. Denyse M. Bridger has earned 4 Angels!
