A Prince Among Pirates

Christopher-Henry “Kit”‘ Davenport is your average 17-year-old; impetuous, headstrong, a little too sure of himself, and desperate to live his life his way. Oh—he’s also heir to a ridiculous fortune, the son of a Viscount, and days away from marrying future marchioness, Katherine Stuart God daughter to the King himself.

 

But when Kit boards a ship to escape the tyranny of his overbearing father, he has no idea he’s just joined a pirate crew—or that accidentally becoming a pirate himself will take him on a journey of self-discovery and help him learn for the first time what it feels like to be unconditionally loved.
