From glittering ballrooms in London to the high seas life lived by Henry Morgan and other pirate greats, Maureen Mckee, with her aunt, faces lavish lifestyles and unbelievable danger. Maureen must look beneath the façade her fiancé Thomas exudes to the man beneath. Is he what he seems, or is there a darker side? And what of Lt. Chance? Why does he bring out the shrew in her even as he rescues her and shows only bravery in the face of unspeakable odds? Fiery haired Maureen must seek the answers while fighting for her life. Is Lt. Chance the evil man Thomas says he is, or is Thomas a man of unfathomable darkness? Will she learn to see clearly what her heart actually desires, or will she be as blinded to her heart as the island is by the dangerous storm…a storm that turns high noon as dark as twilight. Will her heart make a safe twilight landing?
