About this ebook

Fate calls heiress Sabrina Windham to her grandmother Rose’s hospital bed where she hears a confession of betrayal and death. Sabrina learns of another, heartbreaking family legacy: the Zephyrus. Built by Don Windham and Derek West, the classic sailboat is lost to time. Is Destiny leading her on a twisted path? Her search for the original boat takes her to Rhode Island and into the arms of Jay West, the embittered grandson of her grandfather's partner. Will Jay help restore the Zephyrus and, in doing so, restore his family’s honor? Can Sabrina help Jay forget his brutal life, a poor orphan because of Rose Windham’s selfish desires? Despite their undeniable attraction and Sabrina’s belief in fate, Jay thinks its misfortune knocking on his door.

Ratings and reviews

A good entertaining read. Eventhough the plot isn't that great, the author manages to grip the reader with a well paced storyline. After reading the whole book, you get a feeling that something is still missing. But all in all, decent enough for me to try out a few other books from this author.

Started a bit slow and i felt the subplot with the first guy from her past didn't need to be there...but then when she encountered HOT, SEXY Jay, the pace took off. The romance was great, the chemistry between the two leads sizzled, the sex scenes yummy. I was hooked enough to buy the other two books from the trilogy, which I found on Amazon, by their separate titles.

Amazingly pleasing for a free book, hope I can get the other two for my T-Hub.
