Anne was a reckless, arrogant royal who had never tasted defeat. After a brutal betrayal on her wedding night, Anne vanishes from the kingdom she was meant to rule.

Years later, she returns from the grave—no longer a princess but a terror of the seas. Known only as Blackbeard, she’s hunting down the men who destroyed her, one by one. But vengeance doesn’t come without a cost.

Brutal bargains collar her, and bind her to a dark promise. She captures Lieutenant Robb Maynard—a too-handsome, too-calm officer loyal to her enemy—and Anne intends to trade him for leverage.

Instead, she finds herself locked in a dangerous game of secrets and seduction, where the greatest threat isn’t a blade—but the way he looks at her. Like she’s still a woman worth loving.

And although she knows better than to believe in anything but pain, Anne must decide if love is worth the risk.
