Heather has no reason to like Lucas Reed.
Lucas Reed deserted Deborah, Heather Hawthorne's unwed cousin, when Deborah become pregnant with his child. He is an American whose fight for liberty from England ruined her family's wealth and led to her father's death. But Deborah's dying wish is that Heather take little Jamie to his father in Charleston.
Ever since his one true love, Deborah, mysteriously disappeared, Lucas has avoided romantic entanglements. But that was before Heather appeared with Jamie - and a letter from Deborah revealing that Lucas's pirate brother, Marcus, had kidnapped her and fathered Jamie. Acceding to Deborah's desire to protect Jaime from being maligned as a pirate's child, Lucas claims him as his son.
As they work together to build a new life for Jamie, can Heather and Lucas resist their growing attraction, or will mutinous hearts finally admit their love when an enemy's desperate plot threatens their very lives?

Odd little story. I couldn't ever really get to the point where I really believed what was going on; just when I would get to thinking I knew the characters, something else would happen. There was a triple batch of melodrama with a super-bad villain and the characters were just so one- or two-dimensional that they hardly seemed to show any signs of life–just the actions the author attributed to them.
There was some great historical research done, but the characters still seemed to be thinking and often acting with a 21st-century mindset instead of an 18th. Because of this, they ended up logically in a couple situations that would probably never have happened.
At least it was short and worked for a challenge!
