From a RITA Award–winning author, a naval officer finds love and healing with a widowed noblewoman and her unusual family.

Shipwrecked and stranded alone on a desert island, he had lived to tell the tale. A triumphant return to the ton saw James Trevenen hailed as Beau Crusoe—a gentleman of spirit, verve and action. But only he knew the true cost of his survival!

Susannah Park had been shunned by Society. She lived content with her calm existence—until Beau Crusoe determinedly ruined her peace! The beautiful widow wanted to help him heal the wounds of the past—but what secrets was this glorious man hiding?

"A powerful and wonderfully perceptive author." —Mary Jo Putney, New York Times–bestselling author of Lady of Fortune
