After trading the seemingly charmed life of a gentleman for one of a swashbuckling buccaneer, Stede became captain of the pirate ship Revenge. Struggling to earn the respect of his potentially mutinous crew, Stede's fortunes changed after a fateful run-in with the infamous Captain Blackbeard. To their surprise, the wildly different Stede and Blackbeard found more than friendship on the high seas... they found love. Now, they have to survive it.

Stede Bonnet, a pampered aristocrat, abandons his life of privilege to become a pirate in the early 18th century.
