Pasts Collide in New Orleans when a Treasure Goes Missing
The last time New Orleans attorney Jean-Luc Valmont saw Maribel Cordoba, a Spanish nobleman's daughter, she was an eleven-year-old orphan perched in the riggings of his privateering vessel proving herself as the best lookout on his crew. Until the day his infamy caught up with them all and innocent lives were lost. Unsure why he survived but vowing to make something of the chance he was given, Jean-Luc has buried his past life so deep that no living person will ever find it--until a very much alive and very grown up Maribel Cordoba arrives on his doorstep and threatens all he now holds dear.

Recent book releases include bestselling The Pirate Bride set in 1700s New Orleans and Galveston, its sequel The Alamo Bride set in 1836 Texas, which feature a few well-placed folks from history and a family tale of adventure on the high seas and on the coast of Texas. She also writes (mostly) relative-free cozy mystery novels for Guideposts Books.
Kathleen and her hero in combat boots husband have their own surprise love story that unfolded on social media a few years back. They make their home just north of Houston, Texas and are the parents and in-laws of a blended family of Texans, Okies, and one very adorable Londoner.

Reviews
The Pirate Bride relishes timely encounters and sharp wit. The hand of God remains a steady undercurrent, satisfying the sense that in some cases, romance grows out of a deep, ancient wisdom that neither lover anticipates, but that both come to see as vital.--Karen Rigby "Foreword Reviews" (3/1/2018 12:00:00 AM)
In the second book of the Daughters of the Mayflower series, there is adventure on the high seas with pirates and privateers. Characters are charming and sweet, including the pirates. The main character, Maribel Cordoba, is a feisty lass. She is noble but humble, and cares deeply for those less fortunate than herself. The story itself is believable with historical facts mixed in throughout the novel. Kathleen Y'Barbo is a marvelous writer who will entertain fans with The Pirate Bride.

" Kathleen Y'Barbo's The Pirate Bride has transported me to a whole new world of magnificent sailing vessels amid privateers and pirates, a beautiful little island inhabited by nuns and orphans, opulent mansions of New Orleans, and newfound love--all through the eyes of the precocious, wise-beyond-her-years Maribel Cordoba. Rich in history, it's a story I didn't want to end and will revisit again soon."

-Kim Vogel Sawyer, award-winning author of Bringing Maggie Home
A delightful read that enchants, delights and makes you crave adventure.--Diana Buss "Feathered Quill Book Reviews" (3/15/2018 12:00:00 AM)
Excellent story, fast paced, and totally absorbing from page one to the end. I myself pictured the captain as Errol Flynn, who I considered one of the all-time best swashbucklers.-- "Seattle Book Review"
Not everyone seeking a new start in life came from England, and Y'Barbo deftly portrays the tensions between France, Spain, and England as descendants of the Mayflower passengers settle the New World. The heroine's age in Part 1 of the story and the sweet romance years later in Part 2 makes this high seas adventure enjoyable for YA or adult readers.--Kim Peterson "Christian MARKET" (4/1/2018 12:00:00 AM)
Woodhouse's fun, faith-filled book will please fans of historical romances.-- "Publishers Weekly" (8/1/2018 12:00:00 AM)
