Do you like sexy pirates?

Want to win a free copy of Like a Treasure Found, the latest anthology from Circlet Press?

Read on!

Below, I've provided the titles of the stories in the anthology and the opening line of each. To enter the contest, simply comment on this post and match each story to its opening line.* I'll even give you the first answer to get you started—1d.

The first commenter to answer correctly will win a PDF copy of the anthology (other digital formats may be available, so please let me know if you prefer a particular one). If no one gets it completely right, the commenter with the most correct matches will win. The contest is open until someone answers correctly, or until 11:59 pm (Eastern Time) on Monday, September 5—whichever comes first.

If you are comfortable doing so, please leave an email address in your comment so I can notify you if you win. If you aren't, please make sure to check back here at the end of the contest.

EDIT: Like a Treasure Found is now available for purchase!

b. Don't they often say that the way to hell is paved with good intentions?
c. In Seok-Teng's dream, a great pale dragon twined through a labyrinth of shifting clouds.
d. Dust swirled around Jamie's feet.
e. Blossoming into a woman at an early age, Catalina had always been, among the legion of young criollo men of Lima, widely considered to be the finest, the most sought after, and easily the one with the most legitimate offers for marriage.
f. "At last we make the acquaintance of the so-called Pirate Queen Blade."
g. When Willoughby finally met Captain Sable in the interstellar pirate port, his shoulders sagged.
