James Malory sails to America to keep the promise he made to his wife's brothers: his and Georgina's daughter, Jacqueline, will come to America. Judith and Jacqueline Malory are not just cousins, they are inseparable best friends. Refusing to miss Jacqueline's trip to Connecticut, Judith convinces her parents to let her delay her London debut by a few weeks to accompany her cousin. No girl expects to fall in love in her first Season. But Judith's plans change when, on board the ship, she comes face to face with the ghost haunting her dreams. Unknown to Malory, sailor Nathan Tremaine is a smuggler with a "noose around his neck." Determined to complete a secret mission in America that will help him get a pardon, Nathan senses that the beautiful Judith Malory is the problem. Somehow, the sassy girl finds out his secret and begins to blackmail him, demanding that he follow her orders. As passions escalate on the high seas, Nathan realizes that the beautiful aristocrat is simply having fun dealing with a scoundrel like him. When the unthinkable happens in Connecticut, and the elder Malory's hands are tied, in this difficult situation, Nathan takes command. Controlling the ship, he takes control of his relationship with Judith, taking her to the Caribbean, where he will fight with all his courage and dedication for the right to her heart.
