A young woman''s past liberates all that she''s ever desired in this sparkling romance of adventure from international bestselling author Fern Michaels. . .

As a van der Rhys, Caleb''s first allegiance is to the sea. Close behind are his affections for anyone foolish enough to pass him in a skirt. But that shouldn''t be a problem when he''s hired to ship a cargo of Puritans to the colonies—until a stowaway is discovered onboard. Wren is equal parts stormy and beautiful, normally an irresistible combination for Caleb. But they have a shared past that deems her off limits. All they have are the stars to guide them, in which case anything is possible. . .
