When Phoebe Turlow decides to answer a tacky advertising circular - the kind that announces 'you have won a weekend in the Caribbean!' - she knows it's a ploy to get her to listen to a real estate offer. But she needs to get out of Seattle and forget about her newly ex-husband, her dwindling finances, and the lonely nights that seem to stretch ahead of her into infinity. She can't foresee what really awaits her on Paradise Island. And it definitely isn't a deal on a new condo...Duncan Rourke is known to historians as 'the pirate patriot,' a marauder of the Caribbean who turned against his Tory family to embrace the cause of the American Revolution. He has been dead for two centuries..or at least he's supposed to be, until Phoebe Turlow steps out of a van, into a run-down island hotel, onto a creaky elevator...and into his world. Rourke knows the compellingly beautiful woman with oddly cropped hair and absolutely no sense of a female's place is from a faraway land - only he assumes that the locale is British and Phoebe is a spy. Why else would she be prowling about his wine cellar? The truth is nearly beyond his comprehension: what she is doing is defying all reason and falling in love - unwisely, and much too well - with a handsome rebel with haunted eyes, a tormented soul, and danger all around him. Neither Phoebe nor her pirate can envision the glorious adventure that is about to begin. They understand only that they have found each other, and a grand passion, across the chasm of time...and they fear only the moment when it may vanish again
