In the swashbuckling town of Port Royal, Jamaica in 1665, fortunes can be made and anything goes... if you live long enough.

An accident finds Billy Clark and Katie Turner with two dead bodies and no reasonable explanation. They have to get out of Bristol fast. Fortunately, a ship they learned about from a handsome departing Quaker boy is leaving that very night for Jamaica.

Billy wants Tom. But Katie also wants Tom. Tom just wants to be a good Quaker in this rough and tumble new world he's found himself in. And seadog Joe Vickers wants to win Billy's affections--if Billy will ever forget about Tom. Billy finds Joe infuriating and intolerable--until Joe doesn't want him anymore and leaves on a buccaneer ship to hunt Spanish treasure.

When Billy uncovers a Spanish plot to retake Jamaica and kill all the English, can he stop it and save everyone he loves? And will Joe forgive him for his continued longing for Tom?

Set against the daring buccaneer world of seventeenth century Jamaica, Friends, Mates and Scoundrels features adventure, danger, and love triangles over love triangles. Read it and go on the adventure of a lifetime!
