Summary
Ed Teach had made a name for himself, that was for certain; a celebrity ad man among a sea of gray suits. And that was why the suggestion to bring him in was absolutely absurd.
“He’d never work here. He’s too good, plus he doesn’t tie himself down.”
“There’s that can-do spirit I’ve always heard about!” Lucius jokes.
“We could at least try,” Jim presses.
There’s no way. “It’s not even what he does,” Stede tries to remind them, but he can already tell which way the tide is turning.
***
It's 1964, and Stede Bonnet runs a small but mighty ad firm in New York City. When their creative director suddenly quits, his agency reaches out to an unconventional replacement.

Summary
It's 1925, and Stede Bonnet has fled his restrictive life of privilege in Wellington to become a painter in Paris. Things do not go as planned.
Meanwhile, Ed "Blackbeard" Teach is an established sculptor haunted by the war, broke, and bored of it all, until he meets Stede.
They become friends, and eventually something more, when Ed agrees to model for Stede, until life pulls them apart.
When they reunite, they’re older, more world-weary... and irresistibly drawn to each other more than ever.

Summary
Ed and Stede are best friends and not-so-secretly in love with each other. The only problem: They live on opposite ends of the same island and their busy lives have kept them from ever meeting in person.
But when an old ‘friend’ comes back into Ed’s life and tires to sabotage their relationship, it sends Stede on a frantic ten hour commute up to Blind Cove—and Ed on a desperate chase to meet him before it’s too late.
