WHEN OPPOSITES ATTRACT… John LeDeux is the wildest guy on Louisiana bayou. Even his infamous aunt, Tante Lulu, agrees. But now he’s a respected police detective who must fall back on his wilder days to investigate a crime syndicate's control of a Baton Rouge sex club. However, the last thing John expects is some nosy reporter screwing up his bust by dressing like a high-class Bourbon Street hooker and then writing an article calling him the “Sex Cop.” SPARKS WILL FLY… Single parent Celine Arseneux is raising a five-year-old son and proud of her award-winning work as a journalist. What she doesn’t need is a full-of-himself, sex-on-the-hoof Cajun bad boy distracting her from what could be the scoop of the century. Besides, if he gets too close, he might uncover her secret. BUT A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE SWAMP… Forced to hide out until the sex club case goes to trial, John distracts himself with a treasure-hunting company, looking for buried pirate gold. Of course, who else should be assigned to do a feature story on treasure hunting than his not-so-favorite journalist, Celine? Adding to the steamy heat and gators and snakes big as telephone poles, there's the matchmaking Tante Lulu, an ex-Amish Navy SEAL, a professional poker-playing nun, a Cuban professor, and a female NASCAR mechanic. What can a guy and gal do but laugh and surrender to the magic of a destined love?

We hear the terms steer clear of, hit the deck, don't rock the boat , and to harbor a grudge and give little thought to their origin. Left together on ships for months, and often for years, pirate crews developed expressions that made their way into common usage. Terms for things related to life at sea became idioms used by land lubbers, a term derived from the holes in the platforms surrounding the mast that allowed sailors to avoid climbing the rigging around the platforms. A lubber was someone who was very clumsy, so a land lubber is someone who knows nothing about sailing and rigging.Centuries ago, men wore wigs of length denoting their wealth and importance. Soon, many naval captains, including Sir Henry Morgan and Captain Chaloner Ogle, who killed Black Bart Roberts, began to adopt the style. A law was passed in England declaring that only nobility, judges, and bishops could wear full-length wigs and so was born the term bigwig .Reading through these words and phrases is an abbreviated trip through history, with lists of major naval mutinies, a summary of the slave trade, and even jokes. This dictionary is written to be entertaining as well as informative, to give a flavor of the interesting times from the fifteenth to the eighteenth centuries when pirates controlled many sealanes. It also contains a treasure trove of factual information about life aboard the ship, important pirate haunts, and technical terms.
