Brilliance has a way of asserting itself!

Thanks! It's a rollicking rum-soaked romp for sure, but it's still got some romance heart as well. 🏴‍☠️

This book is in the #NarraTessIndie #IndieApril sale

Also features illustrations for every chapter drawn by the author (me).

Thanks to @stevewestenra.bsky.social for the title

On sale now in the @narratess.com sale!
