Pirates have invaded Christmas Key. Unfortunately, they brought cannon fire, bad manners, and one man Bonnie Lane absolutely should not flirt with.

Holly Baxter thought a pirate weekend would be good for tourism.

Tourists love themes. Rum drinks are easy. Costumes are fun. And after Christmas Key’s brush with reality-TV fame, a little swashbuckling should be harmless.

Right?

Not quite.

The cannon fire is rattling the B&B. The guests are rowdy. The islanders are gossiping. Bonnie is ready to go to war with a pirate named Sinker McBludgeon—until she decides he might be the dark, dangerous stranger her love life has been missing.

Wyatt Bender is not remotely amused.

Meanwhile, Holly’s own heart is still a complicated little shipwreck. Jake is building a life with someone else. River is still somewhere on the horizon. New residents are settling in. Old neighbors are changing. And Christmas Key refuses to stay exactly the same, no matter how tightly Holly tries to hold on.

That’s the thing about paradise.

It’s beautiful.

It’s ridiculous.

And it never stops surprising you.

A funny, heartfelt island escape full of pirate hijinks, beach-town gossip, found family, romantic complications, and the kind of kooky community readers will want to visit again and again.

Paperback Blurb

A pirate weekend sounds like harmless fun.

Then the cannon fire starts.

As Christmas Key fills with costumed guests, Bonnie sets her sights on a wildly inappropriate pirate, Wyatt gets jealous, and Holly Baxter tries to keep the whole event from going overboard.

A warm, funny island story about friendship, change, romance, and the chaos that happens when paradise hosts pirates.

For readers who love cozy small-town hijinks, found-family beach reads, and the colorful charm of Laurie Gilmore and Hope Holloway.
