Can a girl enamored with the adventurous seas ever be content with
the tame life of a Southern belle?
When her mother dies, Elizabeth Benjamin heads home to Key West, determined to
transform herself into the perfect Southern belle her parents always wished her to
be. But nothing goes according to plan. Her brother resents her, the servants do
not obey her, and Rourke O'Malley, the dashing man she vowed to forget, refuses to
relinquish his hold on her heart. Worst of all, it becomes painfully obvious that
her father is not the man he appears to be.
As family secrets come to light, Elizabeth is faced with a difficult choice: to
perform her duty and abandon her dreams, or to leave her life of privilege behind
to chase the man her father sees as little better than a pirate.
From the first emotional page, author Christine Johnson throws you into a world of
impossible choices, hidden desires, and heart-melting romance in the steamy South.
