Blackhearts

Description from Goodreads
Blackbeard the pirate was known for striking fear in the hearts of the bravest of sailors. But once he was just a young man who dreamed of leaving his rigid life behind to chase adventure in faraway lands. Nothing could stop him—until he met the one girl who would change everything. This is their story.
Edward "Teach" Drummond, son of one of Bristol's richest merchants, has just returned from a year-long journey on the high seas to find his life in shambles. Betrothed to a girl he doesn’t love and sick of the high society he was born into, Teach dreams only of returning to the vast ocean he’d begun to call home. There's just one problem: convincing his father to let him leave and never come back.
Following her parents' deaths, Anne Barrett is left penniless and soon to be homeless. Though she’s barely worked a day in her life, Anne is forced to take a job as a maid in the home of Master Drummond. Lonely days stretch into weeks, and Anne longs for escape. How will she ever realize her dream of sailing to Curaçao—where her mother was born—when she's stuck in England?
From the moment Teach and Anne meet, they set the world ablaze. Drawn to each other, they’re trapped by society and their own circumstances. Faced with an impossible choice, they must decide to chase their dreams and go, or follow their hearts and stay.

Adventure.. Pirates.. Romance.. This is exactly what I've been looking for! I can't tell you how difficult it seems to be for me to come across with fascinating adventure stories, and this one here, Blackhearts, this is definitely fascinating to me. It just sounds so perfect with the setting, and the forbidden romance, and ugh, probably heartache too and heart-pounding escapes. Count me in!
Yes!!!! I've seen this a couple times around in recent weeks, and I definitely have gotten more excited about it the more I see it around!! Adventure and pirates and, as you point out, forbidden romance!!! Beautiful. I hope you like it!
