_CarleeCarter_
A runaway bride. A pirate's voyage. A heart caught between two worlds.
Desperate to escape her unwanted marriage arrangement to Lord Charles Beckett, son of the late Lord Cutler Beckett, Francesca Turner sets out to sail the seas with Captain Barbossa and the ever elusive Captain Jack Sparrow on their voyage to Calavera Cay. When Francesca learns of the Fate Bound Jewel, a relic said to free those bound by cursed fates, she intends on being the one to find it. Her reckless bid for freedom quickly turns into a journey to bring her brother, Will Turner, home.
Reunited with her family on the open waters, she finds herself being drawn to Alexander Barbossa, son of Captain Barbossa. But, their growing connection is threatened when word spreads of her escape. Furious and believing his motives are true, Charles Beckett launches a pursuit to reclaim his future bride.
Caught between the structed life she lived and the untamed world she threw herself into, Francesca must quickly acclimate to pirate life if she hopes to break Will's curse to the Dutchman. All the while, she is being hunted by her fiancé and falling in love with a pirate. The jewel's power comes at a significant cost, but Francesca is willing to sacrifice everything for the people she loves.
