Ambitious and feisty Josephine âJossâ OâMalley has spent years fighting to keep her motherâs map-making company alive. Just when she finds herself considering taking a risky next step with bad-boy entrepreneur Rogan Reynoldsâ whose generosity has helped keep the business afloatâJoss meets dark and mysterious Hugh Hawksmoor. Hughâs deft touch and old-world seduction stir Jossâs desires like a storm at sea, and she has no clue that he has sailed three hundred years into the future to avenge the death of his brother at the hands of her father. Or that she holds the key to a map that will help him undo the destructive changes her father wrought in the past. When Hugh lures Joss into a treacherous journey through time, thereâs not a twenty-first-century trick that can save her. But when she applies her own instincts to a course she thought was set, she discovers that the high seas hold some scandalous surprises.
