whose POV is it? will the Ev/Vee/D'Arcy triad's happy ending be affected?

the book will be third-person single-POV: Preston D'Arcy!


The relationship between Everard/Vee/D'Arcy will remain solid & happy throughout Affairs & Assets. Their relationship "drama" ends with Rears & Vices. (No one is tearing D'Arcy away from Everard, trust me.)
D'Arcy's just getting his own additional "primary" love interest, sortof like Vee is for Everard. More love! đź’–

🙋 Is the title a cheeky double entendre like R&V?

Yes. Absolutely. However, please note: this is a thoroughly poly setup, and there’s no cheating in this book. Everybody’s all on board. Everard said he “had no wish to intrude on [D’Arcy’s] relations with other men,” and I need you to take him at his word.

🤯 But wait, sapphic lady pirates?!

Never fear! So, when I wrote R&V half a decade ago, I’d hoped publishers would pick it up as a 3-book series. The plan was to continue with D’Arcy’s POV as a Book Two spinoff and Prin’s story as a Book Three. This year, I earnestly meant to release R&V as a standalone. (Books are expensive to produce, folks.) But the response to the book has been so amazing, I’ve decided I’m just going to roll with the original plan. I think folks will understand why once they read this one. Please buy it so I have the means to produce Prin's book, too!!

Will there be ARCs/NetGalley/BookSirens?

This is TBD! If you want to be notified about arcs either way, I have a signup list below. :)

🎧 Audiobook?

I have no idea. I hope so! It’s not up to me! If lots of folks pick up the audio of R&V it’s more likely future books will get one, too!
