William Hurst has always been an adventurer. But he's never been on a journey like this one before. Armed with an onyx box containing just a fragment of a map, William prepares to set sail in search of his kidnapped brother, Michael, and their lost family heirloom, the Hurst Amulet. But when someone tries to steal the box and prevent his success, things spin further and further out of control.

After being blackmailed into the attempt and caught red-handed, Marcail Beauchamp--William's fiesty former lover--is at the man's mercy. That is, until his ship catches fire on the pier and a realthief snags the box's contents in the fray. Now, William and Marcail must work together to track and recapture the stolen map they both need--all the while unknowingly capturing each other's hearts.
