Keeping company with a pirate is one thing. Falling in love with him could ruin Sophie and her eccentric family for good.

Sophie Crestwood will never catch a husband. Her father is a gossip, her mother keeps her nose in a book, and little Jack has shamefully been dismissed from boarding school. Worst of all, a suspected swashbuckler moves into nearby Pembroke Hall. Sophie is shocked to see the sea captain at a summer house party and unsure of the rumors that distract everyone from the revelry at hand. But when the integrity of another guest is revealed, Sophie soon sees the truth despite her initial reservations about the mysterious Captain Murdock. As feelings bloom into trust and friendship for her new neighbor, will they come to mean more than anyone suspects?

This book is a wholesome Regency romance.
