But when he falls in love with the wrong woman, the course of his life is irrevocably changed.... Now, Constantine is known as the fearsome English pirate called LEADER OF TITANS, but his experience with his ex-lover wasn't enough to drive him away from women. He loves them, and loves them in droves. Passion, plunder, and pirates his is motto. Enter Lady Greggoria "Gregg" de Moyon. A pious woman, she was given a sacred object by her husband, an object much sought after by the terrible French pirates who roam the coast between Brittany and England. When her husband is killed by the French pirates on their quest for the treasure, Greggoria must turn to Constantine for help. She knows that only a pirate of equal strength can fight off the French and save her from most certain doom. Constantine is more than willing to help the beautiful woman with the unusual name. But when he unexpectedly falls for her, the man with more women than a Arab shiek finds that his task has just become unbearably complicated.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟


Constantine le Brecque is a pirate who has claimed a huge chunk of the coastline around Cornwall and Wales as his personal territory.  His to harvest as he sees fit.  He also has family connections that will cause him big problems.  He is an expert at making enemies.  
Lady Gregoria de Moyon  has been bullied by her brother into persuading Constantine to go somewhere he can be captured.  
Our hero is a typical pirate with all the arrogance and violence that come with his chosen profession. He also has a strong bond to his brothers in arms.  Our heroine is a brave  but foolish young lady, in well over her head. 
An exciting all action story with marvelous characters.  It is part of a series but easily read on it's own.  Hopefully we will get to meet some of the characters in their own stories later in the series.

Leader of Titans Excerpt
It was time for her to get back to that house and garden near the sea and forget all about Constantine le Brecque. But then, the explosions started to come. At first, they were distant, but Gregoria could tell that the ship had taken a turn; the land that had been on the horizon all morning was now at a different angle. She could hear the faint shouts of men and, somewhere, someone was beating on a drum, a cadence she hadn’t heard before. She came away from the windows and wandered the cabin in tense silence, trying to hear what was going on, when the entire ship abruptly shuddered as the cannons were fired. With a yelp, Gregoria grabbed hold of the nearest wall, bracing herself against the concussion of the cannons. The ship was rocking from the blasts and she struggled to keep her footing as she stumbled back over to the windows to see if she could spy what was going on outside. Smoke from the cannon fire blew back into the cabin and she coughed, waving her hands to scatter it so that she could breathe. Sticking her head out the window, she could see the bow of another ship alongside. But that was about all she could see because of the smoke; still, the ships were very close together and she could again hear the faint shouts of men. Suddenly, it occurred to her what was happening. “We’re being boarded!” she gasped. Terrified she was about to become a spoil of war, Gregoria raced about the room, looking for something to defend herself with. There were two closets in the room and she yanked the first one open, only finding things like silver cups and other treasures, which weren’t of any interest to her unless she planned to beat somebody over the head with a fine cup. But the second closet contained two swords, shoved into the back, and she grabbed one of them, nearly tripping over it when she realized how heavy it was. It was long, too, but she didn’t care. It would be better to protect herself with a long, sharp sword than a short dagger. Someone could get too close to her if she only had a little blade for protection. But with this sword, she could hold off a man at a good distance. Then, she waited.
