Excerpt:

"Still the same Jack, eh?" The voice that came from the corner of the room gave Jack pause. His brow furrowed and he blinked several times as he processed it all. Then he spun on his heel. The cabin moved with him, righting itself as he inclined his head to peer at the pile of Hector's nonsense he hadn't yet gotten the crew to haul out and sell.

The visitor was perched on the arm of a sufficiently stuffy armchair yet tucked carefully out of view of the door. Jack pulled himself to his full height. "Elizabeth?" He blurted out her name as a question.

Her lip quirked in a grin. She lifted her chin and met his eyes with a confidence that he hadn't quite recalled being there when he'd last seen her in Port Royal. At least, it certainly hadn't been directed at him. She had stepped in to save Turner from the hangman's noose after he had foolishly rushed in to save Jack. "I was worried that you might not be happy to see me," she admitted.
