He stole her throne, she's come back to reclaim it.
---
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’s 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. When she captures Lieutenant Robb Maynard—a too-handsome, too-calm officer loyal to her enemy—Anne intends to trade him for leverage. Instead, she finds herself locked in a 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 while she knows better than to believe in anything but pain, Anne must decide if love is worth the risk... and if her revenge will cost her the life she's built.
