Blackbeard the pirate was known for striking fear in the hearts of the bravest of sailors. But once he was just a young man who dreamed of leaving his rigid life behind to chase adventure in faraway lands. Nothing could stop him—until he met the one girl who would change everything. Edward "Teach" Drummond, son of one of Bristol's richest merchants, has just returned from a year-long journey on the high seas to find his life in shambles. Betrothed to a girl he doesn’t love and sick of the high society he was born into, Teach dreams only of returning to the vast ocean he’d begun to call home. There's just one problem: convincing his father to let him leave and never come back. Following her parents' deaths, Anne Barrett is left penniless and soon to be homeless. Though she’s barely worked a day in her life, Anne is forced to take a job as a maid in the home of Master Drummond. Lonely days stretch into weeks, and Anne longs for escape. How will she ever realize her dream of sailing to CuraƧao—where her mother was born—when she's stuck in England? From the moment Teach and Anne meet, they set the world ablaze. Drawn to each other, they’re trapped by society and their own circumstances. Faced with an impossible choice, they must decide to chase their dreams and go, or follow their hearts and stay.

Why I'm Waiting...

A love story! Taking place is a historical fiction kind of setting? Yes please sign me up! I am super interested to see how this kind of situation will be handled within these two characters because when you have a relationship between a rich dude and a maid of this rich dude, things don't get easy and there are definitely many ways one could screw it up or handle it incorrectly. I am also looking forward to see how Nicole will handle the situation and she takes this plot. There are so many things that could happen to Anne and Teach and I am excited to find out what.

So tell me: What are your thoughts on this book and have you heard of it?
