Rears & Vices
HE THOUGHT HE’D BE A HERO BY NOW, AND THAT IT WOULD MEAN
SOMETHING.
It’s 1816. The wars with France and America are over. Royal Navy career man Everard Anderson
de Anglada sails the peacetimes Great Lakes, demoted to captain of a tiny, ten-gun schooner.
When Preston D’Arcy, Everard’s former lieutenant and too-handsome ex-flame, forewarns him
about a courts martial they must judge, Everard is begrudgingly grateful.
HE’S RADICAL, RESPECTED, UNFORGETTABLE—AND A PIRATE.
On the docket, however, is Vitaliy (Vitya) Gray, American. Everard has crossed paths with
him before—not strictly as enemies. Vitya’s charges mean he’ll hang. With quick thinking and
quite a lot of perjury, Everard delays the trial. It costs him—and D’Arcy—everything: for
Vitya’s true identity is V. Varfolomey, infamous pirate fleet captain and anti-colonial
weapons smuggler. At least three crowns want him dead.
TOGETHER, THEY COULD BE LEGENDARY…
Between hasty jailbreak, philosophical debates, and proposals (pirate marriage, no-strings),
Everard finds himself, his heart, and even D’Arcy commandeered: to the Gulf of México.
There, piracy is nothing like he imagined, and Vitya is everything Everard ever truly wished
to be.
…SO LONG AS LEGEND DOESN’T GET IN THE WAY OF LOVE.
As Everard struggles to regain his purpose in his new husband’s shadow, he must also
reconcile the irresistible pulls of D’Arcy’s insistent affection and Vitya’s undemanding
steadfastness. Then, with the Spanish crown looming, dangerous secrets and betrayals come to
light, and Everard is offered a position with the revolutionary Galveston navy. Everard must
decide: fulfill at long last his desire for legacy… or stay beside the men with whom he’s
fallen in love, and make a legacy of their own.
