Excerpt on turquoise blue water background with a white dragon separating the text: “You pretend to want obedience, but you actually despise it.” Strands of Em’s short, black hair rustled in the breeze, and an affectionate smile softened her face. “You hired me *after* I proved I wasn’t afraid of you.

Excerpt on fiery background with orange dragons separating the text: Maria leaned forward conspiratorially. “And it wasn’t to breathe fire at my quartermaster?” “Well . . . no,” Emilia said. “Dragon sorcerers can’t breathe fire.

Excerpt on blue sea background with a tail fin sticking out of the water and a dragon separating the text: “Oh, no, you don’t!” Emilia pushed the captain away from the rail. “I’m not jumping in to save you!” An amused smile quirked at the corners of Maria's rosy-brown lips. “But you'd jump in to save them?” Emilia waved her hand toward the oblivious cook and master gunner. “They weren’t properly warned. You were!” Maria scoffed at that. “They’re sailors! They were warned. We all were.” — from GODDESS OF THE SEA, LESBIANS, PIRATES, & DRAGONS: BOOK 2, by Britney Jackson.

Excerpt on purple dragon scale background with a purple dragon separating the text: “I am needed.” Nymeth’s sudden, thundering voice startled Emilia so much that she nearly tumbled right off the side of her cot. If the ancient dragon had phrased that like a question, Emilia might’ve had some hope of falling back to sleep before sunrise, but she hadn't. Nymeth had phrased it like an observation. That she was *already* acting upon. — from GODDESS OF THE SEA, LESBIANS, PIRATES, & DRAGONS: BOOK 2, by Britney Jackson.

“After what Catherine did to her, Em should be the least forgiving of your . . . mistake.” The ounce of self-preservation that had stopped Zain from making the accusation out loud was all that kept Maria's sword in its scabbard. “Instead, she's out there, viciously guarding your secrets like some kind of—” A look of genuine misery crossed the quartermaster's face the moment his own analogy caught up with him. “Oh, you know, like a—” It was too late, though. Maria was already laughing. “Dragon?” — from GODDESS OF THE SEA, LESBIANS, PIRATES, & DRAGONS: BOOK 2, by Britney Jackson.
Excerpt on light-blue sea background with a dragon separating the text: “Sorry.” “For what?” Maria said—with enough casual dismissiveness to stun Emilia into silence. She waved the flask impatiently, and Emilia took it. “Thank you.” Emilia lifted the flask to her lips. Maria's gaze didn't waver. “Anytime, love.” Emilia spat out the first sip and swallowed the next. Despite Maria’s dismissive response, the shame continued to press against Emilia's chest. She took a few more sips, but the weight only seemed to grow. “I didn’t realize l’d—” Emilia stammered, “that my mind had—” “I know,” Maria interrupted. Again . . . dismissive. Yet, her eyes didn't match her tone. Maria’s gaze didn’t flick away from Emilia the way her words had. No, those large, brown eyes remained steady and focused on Emilia—soft with concern. — from GODDESS OF THE SEA, LESBIANS, PIRATES, & DRAGONS: BOOK 2, by Britney Jackson.
