About This Book

Jack Sparrow swings aboard a creaking pirate ship, just as a fierce woman from his past slaps him hard. The notorious Blackbeard glares from the deck, and Jack doesn't know if the real danger lies with the ruthless pirate or the old flame who dragged him into this mess. Suddenly, the ship groans — something’s coming fast from the dark waters!
