In order to attain the third one, James must attend a fancy ball he is sure to be recognized at. He needs a companion - one who will help him blend in with high society. Bahamas, 2020. As a New York executive, vacation is not in Samantha Gilbert’s vocabulary. Not that her best friend cares. Samantha is dragged to Nassau, Bahamas to help her friend get over a nasty breakup and visits a pirate museum. The tour guide shares a tragic tale of a pirate who died before finding his long-lost treasure. He insists on Samantha trying on a jade necklace from that very treasure. Once the cool metal touches her skin, Samantha falls back through time - straight into the arms of the pirate himself. The two strike a bargain: if she helps him find the third clue, he’ll allow her to put on the jade necklace from the treasure and get her back to the twenty-first century. With the English hot on their trail and death a near certainty, both are forced to work together not only to uphold their bargain, but to survive. And with time running out, both could very well lose the thing they desire most: each other.

An unexpected time travel. A seduction dark and forbidden. A bargain that will change them both forever. After a nasty breakup where her boyfriend had the audacity to tell her she was boring in bed, good girl Lisa decides to go on a Caribbean vacation with her best friend. While visiting a pirate museum, she becomes entrenched in the story of Captain Cole the Black and how no one loved him. Her inner romantic wants him to have his own happily ever after even if he is a notorious pirate harboring a broken heart. After trying on a replica necklace in the museum, Lisa is transported back to the 18th century where she meets Cole the Black himself in his bedroom - and he awakens something deep in her soul that has been dormant for longer than she realizes. Cole the Black is a great pirate captain and a better lover. He enjoys his freedom on the open sea and in the bedroom. Raiding ships for treasure and pillaging uptight, experienced women behind closed doors is his way of life, and he doesn’t want it to end. When he encounters Lisa in his bedroom during a very intimate act with himself, everything changes. She’s not his type, and he’s never been more attracted to anyone the way he is with her. The two decide to strike a bargain. Despite the fact that he doesn’t believe in time travel, he’s willing to give her the necklace and go back home and she will let him seduce her in a way she’s never been before. But it’s difficult for Lisa to trust someone so soon after what happened before and part of her is terrified she may actually enjoy what he promises.
