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.

Leader of Titans Excerpt
Bristol Channel, several months later
The channel was choppy, the sea a gray-green color after the passing of the most recent storm. Constantine’s vessel The Breath of Gaia, or simply the Gaia, was returning from a journey up the River Severn and a visit to the town of Frampton, just south of Gloucester. There were three other vessels with him, smaller caravels that carried about thirty men each – the Persephone, the Melinoe, and the Orpheus – smaller ships that could move down river when the bottom became too shallow for the Gaia.
As Constantine stood on the poop deck, a light breeze lifted his shaggy blond hair. He could see his smaller ships flanking the larger vessel as they headed out of the mouth of the Severn and into the Bristol Channel. His home base was along the Cornwall coast to the south, and they would be there by morning. As he stood there looking over the side, trying to gauge just how much of the sandy bottom the storm had moved about and if his ship would run aground on it, a very large man with gold-tinted eyes walked up behind him.
“The denizens of Frampton were quite generous, my lord,” he said. “In fact, it was all we could do to catch the valuables they were throwing at us.”
Constantine turned to look at his First Mate; Lucifer, they called him. An ex-priest who had been with Constantine so long that he could hardly remember a day when Lucifer hadn’t been by his side, his intimidating and ominous presence frightening the dog-water out of every man, woman, and child he came across. He was the best assassin in the fleet, surprisingly, and Constantine had seen the man do many a thing that would assure him a place at Satan’s right hand.
But Lucifer wasn’t much for aimless conversation, and he only spoke when he had something important to say. But he spoke in a voice that was as dark and raspy as one would imagine the devil’s voice to be. Now, that voice had a hint of humor in it and Constantine merely shook his head.
“They were not throwing valuables at us to be generous,” he said, turning his attention back to the channel. “They were doing it because you were standing at the mouth of the main avenue with a sword as long as a man is tall. No one wanted to be cut down by that thing.”
A flicker of a smile creased Lucifer’s lips. “I would like to think it is my pleasing personality that causes men to do as I wish.”
Constantine snorted. “It is, my friend, it is,” he assured him sarcastically. “Besides, as far as men of our sort go, we are generally very amenable when it comes to harvesting the towns.”
Harvesting was a term Constantine used rather than the word he really meant – raiding and stealing. Things that pirates were known for. But Lucifer knew exactly what he meant.
