From #1 New York Times bestselling author Iris Johansen comes a classic novel about a young woman who lives life on her own terms and the bold adventurer who risks everything to rescue her friend–and persuade her to open up her heart.
Kate Gilbert is a woman without a past–or even a passport–to tie her down. Raised by smugglers, she lives on her wits, relishing the sense of freedom that only the life of the open sea can provide. All she knows of love she has learned from classic literature.
Nothing she read about in Shakespeare, however, could prepare her for Beau Lantry. The brash, handsome playboy helps her out of a tough scrape and puts his own life on the line to save her friend. Now Kate is in Beau’s debt, and as reluctant as she is to compromise her hard-won independence, she’s intrigued by the prospect of a new kind of life in the arms of this wealthy stranger. But can Beau keep her out of harm’s way long enough to convince her that happiness is worth leaving behind a world of ever-present danger?

Summary
Overall This is a category romance written by Iris Johansen over 20 years ago for Loveswept. The opening scenes were probably my favorite scenes in the whole book. You can see where the author leans toward the stubborn female heroines. Beau, her hero, is from White Satin; although the books totally stand alone. I enjoy reading
the author's bio in the front of the book since we know how successful her writing career ends up.
Violence There is some violence; but nothing I consideredvdisturbing. Mostly actionvand adventure.
Language Profane language used throughout. I cannot recall if the F word was used.
Sexual A few scenes and leading up scenes. It is a category romance so the focus of the book is romance with some mystery. The scenes are not too graphic or detailed.
Drug & Alcohol One of her friends is involved with drugs. It does not glamorize it.
