Summary
Stede Bonnet-Banes is an omega past his prime. He’s never been able to perform the one task he’s supposedly been built for - to produce an heir - and his alpha has never let him forget it. His life is centered around keeping his alpha happy, but things take a turn when the ship they’re on is raided by the fearsome Blackbeard, and Stede is kidnapped.
Blackbeard is a name bandied about in stories and whispers, a terrifying alpha raiding ships, more demon than pirate. But things aren’t always what they seem, and Stede finds that the longer he’s on this ship, the less he wants to go home.

Summary
Stede Bonnet is a romance novelist, not that anyone knows it when he's writing under a pseudonym. After all, surely nobody wants to buy a gay romance written by a single, middle-aged man who has spent most of his life married to a woman? But Stede’s latest book and unexpected hit, Crossing Swords with the Pirate Captain, is being turned into a movie and his favourite actor, Ed Teach, has asked to audition for the lead role.
Action hero Ed Teach is sick of the grind and performative masculinity that the action genre, and his agent Izzy, demand. He wants to branch out, he wants to come out and auditioning for the romantic lead in a film about gay pirates feels like the perfect way to do that.

Summary
“I’ve been thinking that, perhaps, it’d be nice if Izzy and I could have, um, sex as well.” He eyes Ed with some trepidation. “If Izzy’s willing, of course! Which is why I’ve been asking about wooing him, as you’ve probably already figured out.”
Ed doesn’t look surprised, which confirms Stede’s suspicion. “I don’t think you’ll need to do any of that, babe. Just talk to him about it."
Stede decides to woo Izzy like he deserves and invites him for dinner. Good food, nice candles, a romantic sunset... Stede has thought this through. His wooing will go perfectly.

Summary
Stede grew up on a farmhouse with his parents—his mother’s pride and joy—but after she passed, his father saw no reason to “waste their lives” and relocated them to a larger city. Now, decades later, his father has carked it and Stede is finally free to seek out the life he wants. With his divorce to Mary set in motion, Stede moves back to the same farm, hoping to start over.
Problem is, he certainly has no idea how to be a proper farmer.
Fortunately for him, his neighbor Ed Teach is also a farmer, and an incredibly experienced one at that. Ed seems more than happy to show him the ropes, as well as offer him genuine friendship. Stede doesn’t expect to also fall for him like a ton of bricks. Now, not only does he have to figure out how to successfully navigate his new life, but also grapple with the feelings whirling inside of him without chasing Ed away.

Summary
Stede Bonnet has an auxiliary wardrobe full of fetish gear he would love to share with someone. Like on his new boyfriend Ed! The only problem is, he isn't sure if Ed would be into that.
Lucky for him, he is.
“I have the theory, but no practice in dominating anyone” Stede sighed. “If you’re not interested in that, it’s perfectly fine with me,” Stede said as he heard Edward’s footsteps. “I can…” Stede stopped when he saw Ed with a collar on his neck—the cat-bell one. Ed held the bell in his right hand, to mute its sounds. “I…”
“Sir. I would like you to use those handcuffs on me, take all control from me,” Ed raised his left hand, in which he held the purple handcuffs. “Put a collar on this kitty, bound him and maybe spank him…” He licked his lips, going to his knees. “Please, Sir.”

Summary
“What have we got here?” a gruff voice asked.
The angel Michael, welcoming him into the gates? Or a mere mortal, gazing upon his plight?
A sharp poke to the side startled Stede enough that his eyes flew open and he emitted an embarrassingly effeminate yelp.
After his peers drug and drop him in an alley, Stede is found by a local.
