This is where his father, a revered police chief, died in the line of duty. Whisked away by his mother when he was just a child, Curtis always yearned to come back and reclaim this magnificent necklace of islands as home. But he never imagined the risks . . . This coastal haven is in attorney Rae Aldens blood, and the resorts expansion is encroaching on precious Fortunate Harbor.

If pirate legends, rekindled romance, and real-life adventure arent enough to make the heart pound, Curtis and Rae discover they arent the only ones hunting. In love and in danger, they have each other, and are finding a place to call home. That alone is a fortune worth fighting for.
