He's never needed more than the wind in his sails and a good navigation chart. But after a near-death experience, he moves to Wendell Beach, Florida, and sets up a fleet of sailboats for charter.

The town comes with rules. The biggest: keep the town darling, Carina Webb, happy. Even when a mix-up means taking her out on his personal boat instead of the company's. And he hates strangers on his boat.
