When Hallie Fredriksen's father is lost at sea, she discovers that he had named not her, but Kit Howland to be her younger brothers’ and sister’s guardian. Three short years ago, Hallie had a girl's infatuation for the handsome San Francisco sea captain that had turned into a secret love.
But Kit had been cruelly betrayed in love and does not trust his feelings for this impulsive blonde beauty who can lift his spirits with her laughter, and fill him with desire and Hallie refuses to bow to an infuriating man who insists on treating her like a helpless nitwit.
