When Abby finds herself alone on a yacht with several drunken gentlemen, one of whom her stepbrother thinks will marry her, she takes her chances with a passing vessel and jumps into the sea. But The Moonlight is anything but respectable. Her piratical captain, Rupert Halland (last seen in Married to the Rogue), was bundled out of the country by his family after a fatal duel. Since then, he has made an alternative life "free trading". Rescuing Abby is instinct. Falling in love with her is foolish when he can't go home without facing trial for murder. Will fate - and interfering family - throw them together once more and make happiness possible?
