This was the second book in the series but the first I have read as well as the author being new to me. It can be read as a standalone book although I am planning to go back and read the first. I will let y’all know after I do if it makes a difference in reading this one.

Julia is attempting to blackmail her father-in-law so she and her son can get out of his house and out from under his control. As a widow her options are limited but she needs a little help with the blackmail first.

That is where Garrett comes in. After spend most of his time at sea he is on land for his friend’s wedding. When in meets Julia he convinces her to let him help gets the evidence she needs to take control of her life.

I must say I enjoyed this story so much. Julia and Garrett are booth great characters. Julia’s father-in-law makes me want to throttle him. That man was the perfect villain for this book.
