Bloody Black - Rhiannon Hargadon

\nAnne was a reckless, arrogant royal who had never tasted defeat. After a brutal betrayal on her wedding night, Anne vanishes from the kingdom she was meant to rule. Years later, she's returns from the grave-no longer a princess but a terror of the seas.\n \n\n \nKnown only as Blackbeard, she's hunting down the men who destroyed her, one by one.\n \nBut vengeance doesn't come without a cost. Brutal bargains collar her, and bind her to a dark promise. She captures Lieutenant Robb Maynard-a too-handsome, too-calm officer loyal to her enemy-Anne intends to trade him for leverage. Instead, she finds herself locked in a dangerous game of secrets and seduction, where the greatest threat isn't a blade-but the way he looks at her.\n \n\n \nLike she's still a woman worth loving. And although she knows better than to believe in anything but pain, Anne must decide if love is worth the risk.\n \n\n
