Abandoned by her father and married to a deceitful man, Claire Gentry fled her life. Disguised as a man, Claire wagers all she owns in a poker game to acquire the last piece of a legendary treasure map. What she hadn't gambled on, was one of her opponents in the game being the only man she ever gave her heart to.
Sailing as the mysterious Sam Steele, Nate Carter is looking to win the map that will lead him to the biggest treasure in the Spanish Main. When he looks over his cards and is reminded of Claire, he remembers a past he'd rather forget-and the woman who could have given him everything he truly wanted.
With guns chasing them, Claire has no time to barter. She unmasks herself and forces her way onto Nate's ship. And if they survive the bloody battle for the treasure, they may just realize that what they really have been searching for isn't riches-but each other.
