    About this ebook

    A young woman is forced to wed the notorious black beard by way of booty on the high seas. She becomes embroiled in his diabolical pirating to survive the harsh reality. Dubloons and jewels become her haven, as the pirating crews were. Violence and lace mixed hand in hand, as did the ladies and whores. When she is finally free to pursue her own path, it is only to face the very demons that became her life.

      I came fully awake as I sat up and cracked my head on the thwart of my upturned canoe. The pain cleared my head. I felt under my bedroll for my knife, hoping I hadn’t made enough noise to attract the attention of whatever—whoever?—had waked me. I did
