He yearned for escape. She offered rebellion. Their paths shouldn't have crossed, but in surrendering to her, he found freedom and a love worth risking everything.

Trapped in a loveless marriage, mocked by his crewmates, and rejected by high society Jamaica, Royal Navy Lieutenant Benjamin Harrington longs for escape. When a notorious Pirate Queen, the Black Rose, captures his ship, he surrenders to a passionate encounter that changes his life forever. Now, Ben must prove himself as he joins the Black Rose's motley crew, navigating a new world of thrilling adventures and dangerous desires. Can bookish, "Baffling" Benjamin become the lover and leader the Black Rose needs? Will their passionate alliance survive the treacherous seas? Or will his past drag him down to Davy Jones' locker?

The passion and sensuality of Bridgerton meets the found family dynamic and high ideals of One Piece, with the emotional maturity of Our Flag Means Death, played out against the backdrop of the Golden Age of Piracy.
