But that was before Heather appeared with Jamie - and a letter from Deborah revealing that Lucas's pirate brother, Marcus, had kidnapped her and fathered Jamie. Acceding to Deborah's desire to protect Jaime from being maligned as a pirate's child, Lucas claims him as his son. As they work together to build a new life for Jamie, can Heather and Lucas resist their growing attraction, or will mutinous hearts finally admit their love when an enemy's desperate plot threatens their very lives?
