Rosie Coque may be a real estate agent, but her true passion lies in historic renovations. At least it did, until her ex tanked their house flipping business, leaving her in financial trouble and completely cynical on love. Now she's stuck returning to her hometown of Charleston where she volunteers to take on a notoriously unsellable property despite all the warnings the owner is a certifiable nightmare. After all, a higher than normal commission is worth the risk.
But it doesn’t take more than a few impossible happenings for her to discover that her client isn’t just a nightmare, he’s the infamous pirate, Captain Thane Easton, cursed to a three-century-long sentence in the house—his own personal Davy Jones’ Locker. With only six months left to rid himself of the property before he becomes permanently stuck, he must enlist Rosie’s help as only her presence allows him a chance at finally breaking the curse.
Working in close quarters to renovate the house, Rosie and Thane find surprising common ground in the pains of their pasts, and Thane’s locker becomes the setting of a steamy and heartfelt rediscovery of the good still worth fighting for. But with the bank calling and Thane’s looming deadline approaching, they begin to wonder what will happen to their newfound love once they cross it—if they even can…
