Alicia Davidson had always been told that her memory loss and scar were a result of a childhood fall. But when her father dies, she discovers the truth-she was found unconscious on a beach after a pirate attack. Her shock and despair are broken by a glimmer of hope: the sister she lost long ago may be alive and only one man can help Alicia find her. Blake Merritt left Port Royal and the Davidson household years ago, vowing never to return. When he refuses to help Alicia and when he then discovers her stowed away on his ship, he is furious. Not because he isn't drawn to her, but because of his own bloody past and her determination to make him face it. As Blake and Alicia grow closer, and as Alicia once agains finds family, a man from her sister's past threatens to once more take away everything Alicia holds dear.
