    Summary

    To the world, the anonymous artist Blackbeard is brilliant, famous, and mysterious. To Ed, the years-long career is a crushing weight flattening him into nothing. Desperate for a change, he begins a new chapter as an art professor at a tiny little liberal arts university, where he is captivated by a history professor with an affinity for pirates.

    Ed falls a little bit in love. Then a lot.

    Stede is exactly the sort of person who belongs in the world of elite academia. Where Ed has never felt like more of an imposter, Stede welcomes him in with unchecked enthusiasm. He is unique, and he is dazzling, and he turns Ed's entire world golden.

    And then he falls in love with Ed too, and Ed’s life begins to change.

    Across the academic year, light and color flood his world, spill onto his canvases, and illuminate parts of himself he's never even dared to explore. Stede is at the center of it all, loving Ed the way Ed never knew he could be loved, teaching him how to find hope in the darkness—and how quickly the darkness closes in again when the light threatens to vanish.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander knows he’s not a small guy. Years of hockey and workouts have built up his muscles, and lucky genetics from his father’s side places him just shy of six feet. He’s checked hockey players half a foot and several pounds more than him, knocked Scott Hunter into the ice in the one fight he’s ever actually thrown hands in. But as much as Shane loves the game, the fast movements, passes, and team camaraderie, there were times where he could only feel regret at following the path of athletic fame. He puts on the media smile he practices in the mirror as he brushes his hair each day, uses the bright lights of press conferences to erase his view of the audience, and keeps his answers simple and focused on hockey.

    The number of people outside the arena still makes him feel crushed in on all sides, small. Eyes trained on his face, cameras flashing, pens and cell phones being passed into his hands. The itch of it all settles under his skin.

    Summary

    In 1717, Edward Teach fell in love with Stede Bonnet.

    In the 21st century, he does it again.

    Stede is everything he was back then, and Ed falls just as hard this time. The only problem: Stede doesn't remember 1717.

    And neither does Ed.
