title: Justified Treason
author: Taijeron, Cristi
description: How could it be so terribly painful to love a pirate? As the only daughter of a wealthy plantation owner, my life had been quite sheltered, and I had not experienced a thing about love or the world until the night Sterling Bentley showed up on my roof top. Being the dangerously handsome navigator of a buccaneer crew, Sterling offered me a taste of the romance and adventure I had always dreamed of. Though I was instantly enchanted by the bond of our forbidden love, our opposing worlds seemed destined to tear us apart. When Sterling was forced out to sea by a bloodthirsty captain, I was left to make a drastic decision that would change my life forever. There are some who say it would have been best to marry the appealing man my father selected for me, but there are others who say I should have stayed true to the promise I made to Sterling. No matter what, someone would be hurt, and after reading my pirate story, you can decide if you think my treason was justified. Charlotte Wetherby
