When Amalie Ansett visits her elderly cousin on the Caribbean island of St. Clements, the last thing she's looking for is romance. Just out of a disastrous marriage, she's ready to swear off romance forever. That is until she meets local plantation owner Jonathan Evans-tall, good-looking, and incredibly sexy. What more could a girl ask for? Then Amalie discovers the man she loves is a ghost. He was murdered two hundred years ago. Only she can see and hear him. To save Jonathan, Amalie agrees to return with him to the 1800's-to a time when the sugar trade reigned supreme, and the slave trade was making fortunes for wealthy planters and ship owners. During a slave uprising their love is put to a test, and when murder and deceit rear their ugly heads, Amalie wonders if taking a journey to the past is worth losing her life.
