In the lawless Caribbean of the 1710s, two women enter the sea under men's names.

Evelyn Cormack runs from a cruel husband, a ruined reputation, and the suffocating life waiting for her in Carolina. With stolen clothes, a shorn head, and a false name, she boards a ship for Nassau, chasing freedom into the mouth of danger.

Marin Reid has spent most of her life surviving as a boy because the world was kinder to a son than a daughter. When pirates seize the merchant ship carrying her west, she is forced into a choice: beg for mercy or become something the sea itself might fear.

Aboard a ruthless pirate crew, Evelyn and Marin know each other only as Evan and Martin. Their secrets should make them enemies. Instead, they become each other's shelter, their desire growing in stolen glances, bloodied hands, and whispers beneath the thunder of sails.

But freedom at sea has a price. Governors hunt pirates. Crews turn restless. Men with power fear women who refuse to kneel. As the noose tightens around the world they have chosen, Evelyn and Marin must decide how much they are willing to risk for a love that history was never meant to remember.

Dark, passionate, and tragic, A Pirate's Wife, Are We? is a sapphic historical romance about disguise, survival, forbidden love, and the brutal cost of freedom.
