The Owen Spence Adventures
The Sugar Coast
Jamaica, 1773.
After being falsely dismissed from the British Royal Navy, Lieutenant Owen Spence finds himself stranded in Jamaica with little hope and even fewer prospects. Forced to rebuild his life, he takes work along the island's coast, but the harsh realities of slavery leave him searching for a different path.
A chance reunion with a long-lost uncle offers exactly that: command of a merchant vessel trading across the Caribbean and the American colonies. But Owen soon discovers that his uncle is secretly working for the British Foreign Office -- and wants him to do the same.
As revolutionary tensions spread across the Atlantic, Owen is thrust into a dangerous world of spies, shifting loyalties, and hidden conspiracies. With French and American agents plotting against Britain, he must risk everything to uncover the truth before countless lives are lost.

The Smuggler's Island
St. Eustatius, 1775.
The tiny Caribbean island has become the wealthiest trading port in the Americas almost overnight. To British intelligence, the sudden boom is no coincidence.

But smuggling is only one part of a far larger conspiracy.
Rumours swirl throughout the Caribbean that France is preparing to abandon secrecy and enter the conflict openly. If war comes, Owen is certain the first strike will be launched from the nearby French stronghold of Martinique.
As tensions rise and rival spies wage a hidden war across the islands, Owen finds himself racing against time to uncover where the attack will fall. Caught in a deadly web of espionage, deception, and shifting loyalties, Owen must risk everything to expose the truth before a secret war erupts into open conflict.
