Cursed to haunt dry land for three hundred years, forbidden to touch the ocean he loves, Nathaniel Quinn's spirit lingers near the Logan Point Lighthouse until his sentence is served. All the pirate wants is an end to the curse so he can haunt the seas instead of the shores. Until the day Miranda Kent buys the lighthouse with the intent to turn it into a B&B. She hopes the presence of a ghost will bring in the tourists, but Quinn has finally found a benefit to his time on land.
She's the only one who can hear him. See him. Touch him. He may only have a short time remaining at the lighthouse, but at least now he can enjoy it like a sailor on shore leave. But pleasure turns to impending pain as these doomed lovers discover they're touching more than each other's bodies. They're touching each other's hearts. The long-awaited end of Quinn's shore curse might just mean a different kind of curse…
Because an eternity sailing the seas means an eternity separated from the woman he loves.
