The heartwarming sequel to Rebecca Thorne’s instant Sunday Times bestseller, Can't Spell Treason Without Tea. For fans of Legends & Lattes and Our Flag Means Death.

Queer pirates will discover if enemies actually can become lovers...

Kianthe and Reyna are hunting for dragon eggs to save their hometown. To secure their prize, they must strike a deal with the local lord – who in turn wants Serina, notorious river pirate and scourge of his supply chains. Surely they can handle one small abduction in the name of justice?

Begrudgingly, the couple joins forces with Bobbie, one of the lord’s constables. Bobbie is determined to capture Serina, but lawmaker and lawbreaker have a complicated history – and it might jeopardise everything. As Bobbie and Serina become reacquainted, Kianthe and Reyna watch this relationship-wreck from afar. Luckily, matchmaking is Reyna’s favourite pastime. The dragon eggs may just have to wait.

Take a break with this gloriously cosy sapphic fantasy rife with mischief and steeped in fun.
