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 crippled 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 upright man he
appears to be.
As family secrets come to light, Elizabeth is faced with a
difficult choice: to do 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
readers into a world of impossible choices, hidden desires, and
heart-melting romance in the steamy south. Readers will cheer for
Elizabeth and Rourke as they battle the odds and the elements to
secure their future.
