    Summary

    Stede Bonnet is tired of ‘What If’s’. What if he’d realised he was gay sooner? What if he’d defied his father, and refused to marry a woman he barely knew? What if he hadn’t settled down in the suburbs, but had escaped to the cabin in the woods he’d always fantasized about; living off the land and enjoying nature? What if Stede Bonnet, freshly single after an amicable divorce, chased down his wild, lumberjack, rough man carpenter dreams?

    In the wise words of one Mary Allamby-Bonnet: All we have is this one life. We have to try, don't we?

    Edward Teach lives his life through a series of ‘What If’s’. What if he abandoned his life in New Zealand? What if he bought a local bar in middle-of-nowhere Minnesota on a whim? What if life stopped being so fucking boring?

    What if he could just… begin again?
