"He's the man who can send her to prison. She's the woman he'd break the law to protect."
Maren Fox is a master of the quiet life. But when her ex-husband is found murdered in a rain-slicked parking lot, her carefully constructed world shatters. She wasn't the killer, but she's guilty of something else: stealing a sketchbook from the crime scene.
The book contains a drawing of a face. A face her eight-year-old son, Ash, saw standing over the body. A face that belongs to the city's most dangerous "fixer."
Detective Julian Cole is the best at what he does because he doesn't believe in coincidences. He knows Maren is lying. He knows she's hiding something behind those defiant eyes. But as a corrupt Judge closes in on her son and the "Fixer" begins a deadly hunt, Julian realizes that the law he's sworn to uphold is the very thing putting Maren in the crosshairs.
In a race against time and a city built on secrets, Julian must decide if he's willing to trade his badge for her safety. Because in this game, the truth won't set you free-it'll get you killed.

The Accidental Seduction of Edward Teach by Stede Bonnet, Gentleman Pirate
"Well, that's that, then. I know he's your friend, Ed, but he was a toxic influence on the crew. And on you as well," Stede declared. Something about those words stung Ed just a little. He wasn't not-not himself with Jack. It was just that being around him seemed to bring out the part of him that enjoyed giving and receiving pain. Cut your finger and you'll forget about your chronic headache, if only for a little while. But slowly, Stede was showing him that a moment of warmth and connection could be just as distracting. ------ This story begins assuming Calico Jack left the Revenge, Ed stayed, and Jack didn't betray the crew to the English. How would the slow burn of Ed and Stede's relationship have carried on? How long would it take for them to realize their feelings for each other in the absence of life-changing events? Plot-light, especially compared to my hypothetical S2 fic, A Pirate's Life for Us. The main driver of plot is Ed and Stede's accidental flirtation and growing intimacy.Complete
