Summary
Lupe Garcia had planned to go down with her pirate ship when it was raided by Spanish soldiers one dreadful night. Bleeding out on the deck, she accepted her fate—until an infamous ghostly captain with no name and a haunting face rescued her from the burning ship and nursed her back to health. With no ship, no crew, and no fortune, the solution is clear for Lupe. She‘s going to kill this captain and take over her crew so she may return to ruling the seas. And she’s definitely not going to fall in love with her.

Summary
In 1912 Lawrence, Massachusetts, Lupe is a struggling wool mill operative when Jess arrives in town as a union organizer with the IWW. Together, they fight for better wages and conditions alongside dignity and beauty.
"Now the flood of words crackles with emotion, Lu’s voice nearly breaking. 'I wonder if my family would be surprised at me now – that I marvel at the strength of my heart. That I can name what I desire and what I fear.'
'Show me,' Jess whispers, half-dare and half-plea."

Summary
The farmhand Jess hires is a woman.
✯
Lupe is biting her nail now. Still avoiding Jess’ eyes. Her shoulders are hunched close to her ears. Jess can’t help but think the orange fabric of Lupe’s shirt brings out the copper tint in her eyes.
I don’t like men.
“Then what do you like?”
The heat of Lupe’s hip feels like a sear at Jess’ side. Like a cattle brand. I belong here.

Summary
Underneath tightly wrapped bales of wheat and barley are dark bottles of what Lupe knows are bootleg liquors - plenty of gin, some whiskey, others beer.
The glass bottles are dark, brown and black that hides their contents, but there’s no mistaking them. Jess’s hands handle them expertly, running her fingers over them to make sure the glass is in one piece, the seals are unbroken.
