Historical romance author Katherine Inskip decides she needs a vacation because, overworked and stressed out, she's beginning to feel blase about love--not a good thing for someone in her line of work. But on a beautiful South Seas island, Kate finds more than she bargained for in Jared Hawthorne, owner of the resort and resident swashbuckler. He's her perfect fantasy. But could Jared have too much in common with his pirate ancestors?
