Thrilled that her solicitors have finally freed her from a detested marriage contract to the Earl of Manford’s son who abandoned her years ago, heiress Julia Miller is eager to husband hunt at her friend Georgina Malor’s ball. Charmed by a masked Frenchman and his magical kiss, she can’t help but pursue this mysterious man— until she makes a shocking discovery. The enticing and carefree “Jean Paul” is merely a persona for Richard Allen who fled England and his controlling father years ago, took to the high seas, and joined a band of treasure-hunting Caribbean pirates! Now, to avoid falling into a ruthless nobleman’s trap, Julia must enter into a risky, inmate charade with a man she once bound to wed never believed she could love. With a little help from the lucky-in-love Malory family, will Richard and Julia discover in each other that perfect someone?
