A Gambit in the Tons

The Silver Locket, Book 7

By: Kennedy Sutton

Narrated by: Kennedy Sutton

Jane’s future, the desperate dreams she’s locked in her heart for so long, rest on faraway shores, but being ashore comes with its own challenges; ones that force Jane and Bennett to change their identities yet again.

But in a life of piracy, grudges are often long-held and blood-tainted. Jane couldn’t have known that when pirates crossed long ago set their vengeful gazes upon her. She isn’t the same woman she was when she climbed aboard Sneaky Lass a lifetime ago. Watching her hopes of beginning a new and lawful life deflate like sails on a windless sea is not who she is anymore. Neither is running away.

Struggling to come to terms with their new roles aboard Blessed Gun, Jane, Bennett, and the rest of the crew need to chisel a place for themselves in the new life they mean to create together.

The real challenge lies in facing who they are beneath the disguises and aliases, under the salty crust the ocean leaves behind, and through the indelible stain a life of piracy has marked them with in order to determine how much further they are willing to go for the promise of a clean slate.

I can’t believe it’s over!

The closing credits gutted me almost as much as the beautiful ending. I’m not ready to say goodbye to these characters. I’m not ready to leave this beautifully rendered world. Forgive me while I go sob in a corner!
