She was meant to be queen, but he made sure she never would be.

Anne was a reckless, arrogant royal who had never tasted defeat, until her wedding night ends in treachery. He stole her life, but she’s come back for it. Not as a princess, but as something far more dangerous. Now they call her Blackbeard, a terror of the seas, and she’s hunting the men who destroyed her. But vengeance comes at a cost, and the bargains that brought her back are tightening around her throat.

When she takes on Lieutenant Robb Maynard—loyal to the very kingdom that betrayed her—Anne expects leverage. A cowardly captive. Yet Robb isn’t afraid of her. He watches her like he sees through the monster, to the woman still hidden beneath.

Ultimately, Anne must choose between her vengeance or her friendships, her crown or the one man who gives her something she never dreamed to have again: love. A home. A family.
