Synopsis

Devastatingly handsome actor Derek Morgan was Romeo, a highwayman, and James Bond all rolled into one, and Amy van Teiler felt that her most romantic fantasies had come to life when he led her onto the dance floor for a fairy-tale waltz. The theme of the transatlantic cruise ship was the glamour of the 1930s, courtesy of a wealthy sponsor and Amy's magnificent re-creations of glorious period costumes. Derek began courting Amy, arranging clandestine rendezvous under a glittering night sky that left both stunned by the depth of their feelings for each other. Was her breathtaking shipboard romance the real thing, Amy wondered, worth risking her hard-won independence for? But she couldn't deny that the dashing pirate had stolen her heart....
