She’s sure any chance for romance long ago passed her by. He’s finally ready to start his life. But when sparks fly during a chance encounter one clear Seattle night, is it simply a coincidence… or the hand of God?
Teresa Faughtinger is a highly acclaimed and successful writer of horror stories—the master of her world. Except when it comes to men. Three failed marriages have convinced her to swear off men—forever. After all, men are only interested in her bank account, not Teresa’s heart. But when a red-bearded sea captain catches her eye, why is she drawn to him?
AJ Showers has sailed the seven seas, ignoring wine and women with the purpose of amassing the fortune he’ll need to fulfill his dream—to buy back the family orchard his drunken father sold for a song. In a courtyard of a West Coast hotel, AJ runs into the author of the book he’s just read. It’s not her words that capture his interest, instead it’s the lady’s irresistible wit, beauty and intrigue.
