Jaxie Parker's life in Atlanta's fast lane comes to a screeching halt when she finds herself put in charge of a pro bono project to revitalize a small, economically depressed coastal town. Just when she decides that a coworker is horribly boring and Rumton, South Carolina is dreadfully uneventful⦠things heat up pretty quick. A charismatic businessman arrives on the scene offering to buy up land, a town resident is murdered, an intriguing history of pirates is uncovered, and Jaxie realizes that there is an interesting man beneath the dull suit and tie, after all!
