    Summary

    Salvage diver Ed Teach is no stranger to the story of Blackbeard and the Queen Anne's Revenge- after all, the famous pirate is a distant ancestor. But then Professor Stede Bonnet, maritime archaeologist and many-times-great-grandson of the original, waltzes through the door of his shop and requests his services in finding the wreck. What are the odds?

    Ed's had enough of the cutthroat world of salvage diving, and he's this close to leaving it all behind. But Bonnet's quest sparks an interest he hasn't felt in years, and he agrees to help the oddly charming man. Nothing to do with the fact that the Queen Anne might just be the last treasure trove Ed needs to escape his life. Definitely nothing to do with the way Bonnet's cheerful enthusiasm makes his heart skip a beat.

    Together they'll hunt for the wreck... and then they'll reckon with what comes next.

    COMPLETE!

    Summary

    Stede stalks over to the shelf just left of the fireplace, and strokes a finger along the leatherbound spines until he finds the one he’s looking for. With a flourish, he pulls the title from the bookshelf and turns to face Edward as the shelf swings out from the wall—only to reveal a second, smaller bookshelf behind it.

    Ed’s face is not flushed with awe, as Stede had expected. Instead, an indecipherable expression overtakes his features. If Stede didn’t know better, he might call it fond.

    “What’s a secret bookshelf got to do with fucking?”

    Ed discovers Stede’s collection of ye olde bodice rippers.
