When Edward “Teach” Drummond, son of one of Bristol’s richest merchants, returns home from a year at sea, he finds his life in shambles. Trapped by the high society he was born into, all Teach wants is to return to the vast ocean he calls home.
Following the death of her parents, Anne Barrett is left penniless. Anne takes a job as a maid in the home of Master Drummond, but she longs to escape the confines of her now mundane life.
From the moment Teach and Anne meet, they set the world ablaze. Drawn together by a shared desire for freedom, their love is as passionate as it is forbidden. Faced with an impossible choice, Teach and Anne must decide whether to chase their dreams and leave England forever—or follow their hearts and stay together. |
