Blue Velvet (White Satin Series) Iris Johansen Unabridged edition

Kate Gilbert is a woman without a past ? or even a passport ? to tie her down. Raised by smugglers, she lives by her wits, relishing the sense of freedom that only the life of the open sea can provide. All she knows of love she has learned from classic literature. Nothing she?s read in Shakespeare, however, could have prepared her for Beau Lantry. The brash, handsome playboy helps Kate out of a tough scrape, putting his own life on the line. Now Kate is in Beau?s debt, and as reluctant as she is to compromise her hard-won independence, she?s intrigued by the prospect of a new kind of life in the arms of this wealthy stranger. But can Beau keep Kate out of harm?s way long enough to convince her that happiness is worth leaving behind a world of ever-present danger?
