Despite her childhood fantasies of piratical adventures, Elizabeth finds herself thoroughly rocked by the harrowing events of the last several days, and struggles to grapple with the traumatic sights she’s witnessed.

Summary
Lord Cutler Beckett’s former almost-betrothed turned pirate wouldn’t have thought she’d ever see him again after seven years apart. But desperate times call for desperate measures, and suddenly, Florence Crowan is part of a scheme designed to bring down both Beckett and the East India Trading Company. Soon she finds herself entangled in a web of deception while memories of a shared past threaten to rise to the surface and feelings that should have stayed buried reawaken.

To distract from her real intentions, she said the first thing that came to mind, commenting on the bust. “They say Caesar was one of the greatest strategists of his time.”
In a strained voice, Beckett answered, “Indeed, he was.” His hands, intertwined with each other, twitched in his lap.
“In some ways, you remind me of him.”
“Is that supposed to be a compliment, Miss Crowan?”
“Perhaps,” Florence replied. “And perhaps they will immortalise your face in marble someday.” A shadow of a smirk tugged at the corners of his lips. Of course, he liked to hear that. Cutler Beckett has never been immune to flattery.(set after At World’s End - Beckett is still alive because I said so)
