About This Book
My love for a buccaneer is what led me to the sea, and while adventuring the Caribbean alongside him, I too fell in love with our life of piracy. Under Sterling Bentley's wing, I built my courage. In his shadow, I earned my reputation. Side-by-side, we sailed, plundered, and led our crew of outcasts to wealth and success. Freedom was everything I'd hoped it would be, but I had not foreseen the nightmares the violence would cast upon my soul, and I had not anticipated the pain of losing those I cared for, nor had I imagined the strain such debauchery would inflict upon our love. Yet as a strong woman in a man's world, I could not cry. I could not hang my head. All I could do was keep fighting, keep thieving, and keep doing whatever the hell I had to do to stay alive and free in this dangerous world. But once I discovered that it would take more than a sea of lust and blood and gunpowder and gold to suffice my spirit, I decided to see if I was strong enough to step out of his shadow and make it on my own. -Black Rose-
