STRANGERS x LOVERS

"I could tie you up better than these here sails."

♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡

A violent storm. A ship torn to pieces. And a stranger who refuses to let her drown.

When a merchant vessel is caught in a tempest and wrecked at sea, you wake to the crash of thunder, tangled rigging, and the cold slap of ocean spray. Saved at the last moment by a gruff pirate with sharp blue eyes and a grip like iron, you're pulled aboard The Storm—a ship as rough and battered as the man who rescued you.

Thomas Rye, the ship’s quiet and intimidating rigger, isn’t used to company. Especially not stubborn, storm-shaken survivors who ask too many questions and keep ending up where they shouldn’t—like halfway up his rigging or sneaking onto the deck at night. But when the winds won’t let up and tensions rise among the crew, Thomas finds himself drawn to the fire in your eyes and the way you look at the sky like you're chasing something more.

Stranded on an unforgiving sea with danger at every turn, they’ll have to weather more than just storms—old wounds, hidden pasts, and the undeniable pull between them.

In a world ruled by salt and sail, can two souls adrift find something worth anchoring to?

Hope you enjoy!
