Turning Tides
They told her freedom wasn't for women. She decided to prove them wrong - with a cutlass in her hand and fire in her heart. 1719, New Providence. The sun is merciless, the rum is cheap, and a woman's worth is measured by how quietly she obeys. Anne Bonny has tried to play the part - the dutiful wife, the polite dinner guest, the proper lady beneath her parasol. But Anne has never been what she's supposed to be. She's a woman born of scandal and raised on rebellion, with the wild blood of Ireland in her veins and the sea calling her name. When her husband sells their beloved boat - her last link to freedom - Anne's fury ignites something fierce and unstoppable. The polite world that once confined her begins to crumble, and in its ruins she glimpses a dangerous, thrilling possibility: life on her own terms. Drawn into the shadowy world of smugglers, sailors, and pirates, Anne finds herself torn between two impossible choices - conformity or chaos, safety or sovereignty. Every decision drags her deeper into a storm of betrayal, passion, and peril that could destroy her... or make her legend. Love, rebellion, and saltwater collide in Turning Tides, a darkly witty reimagining of the infamous Anne Bonny - the woman who refused to stay on shore and changed the course of history with nothing but her courage and her rage.
