“A fast and delightful read! There is something here for everyone. Highly recommend!”-- Mrs. Virginia A. Butterfield

Caroline Steele, a secret rebel during the colonial war, finds a Royalist rogue sea captain hiding in her bedroom armoire as English soldiers swarm through her home with a warrant for his arrest. Her reputation in tatters, she boldly takes a chance on him.

“I won’t turn you over to the Redcoats if you agree to be my husband and take me to the Caribbean.”

Garrett Faulkner is a clever smuggler and outlaw who is more than up to the task of wedding and bedding this gorgeous young widow, but he never planned on taking a wife. But he agrees, knowing that if he steps out of Caroline’s bedroom without being her husband, he will hang.

But as they savor the exotic beaches, the warmth of the tropical climate stirs their blood and Caroline learns to rely on this rugged man, an Englishman so different from her late husband. As they lie in each other’s arms and watch the sun turn a warm russet-gold, their passion grows stronger and more irresistible and when evenings cool with the sea breeze their destiny is set in the heat of ecstasy...
