An instant New York Times bestseller!
A charming nobleman accidentally joins a pirate ship and falls for its debonair captain in this swashbuckling queer debut that's perfect for fans of F.T. Lukens and Our Flag Means Death. Kit Davenport is in trouble--not that this would surprise anyone who knows him. Headstrong, reckless, and utterly unsuited for the stodgy House of Lords, Kit has spent years dodging his father's stern disapproval and delighting in clandestine rendezvous. But time is running out. With an arranged marriage looming and the confines of white wigs and stiff decorum closing in, Kit is desperate to escape a life that feels completely wrong for him. His solution? A wildly impulsive decision that lands him aboard the Deliverance, a galleon captained by the infuriatingly charismatic Reggie Sharpe. With a devil-may-care attitude and a delicious grin, Captain Sharpe commands the waves with his crew of misfits...who all turn out to be pirates. Before Kit can say "wrong ship," he's trading ballroom etiquette for rum-soaked camaraderie, explosive gunfights, and, perhaps most excitingly, heart-stopping kisses under the stars. But life at sea holds just as many secrets as treasures. And when Kit's past catches up with him, he'll have to decide who he truly wants to be: a gentleman or a pirate?Author Biography
