Tales of the Five Islands: Pirates & Prejudice, Sailing & Sensibility, and Windswept - The Chronicles of Gaia

This collection of novellas based on the works of Jane Austen includes all three in the Five Islands Series, Pirates and Prejudice (Pride and Prejudice), Sailing and Sensibility (Sense and Sensibility), and Windswept (Emma). Competent sailor Eliza Bennett hates only one things more than pirates and men who think women should stay off of boats, and that is the arrogant Will Darcy. But things are not always what they seem, and there might just be more to Will Darcy than Eliza thinks. But there are secrets and scandals in "Pirates and Prejudice."

After a terrible tragedy, Elle and Mari Dash find themselves landlocked for a year when their half-brother refuses to have women on his ship. Things on a ship are straightforward and simple, and the Dash sisters find themselves unprepared for the trickery and double-talk on land. Heartache and confusion await them in "Sailing and Sensibility."

Seven years before the other two novellas, there was "Windswept." On Isla Bonita, the Knight, Brand, and Woods children grew up surrounded by love and beauty. They grew older and went their own ways, but nothing can remain perfect forever. Tragedy struck Isla Bonita, and no one, least of all Em Woods, George Knight, or Chris Brand, will ever be the same.
