First Mate — Susan Macias

When Amy and Mac inherited a family business on the Florida coast, Amy found it difficult to face the subject of her adolescent fantasies. She'd first met him years ago when she was only sixteen. Mac had been a renegade even then, the black sheep of her new stepfather's family.

Mac wasn't quite sure what to make of Amy. He'd always thought of her as a little sister, but that little girl now had sultry indigo eyes and silky blond hair that shone like silver. A master sailor, Mac could handle any boat on the water. Boats were living geatures of hand-polished wood that required attention and a firm but gentle hand. Women were another story altogether.

Amy knew she was acting like a girl with her first crush. But Mac was her first and only crush. And if her racing heart was any indication, her feelings hadn't changed. With thick hair as dark as midnight, a sensual mouth, and eyes that gazed right into her soul, Mac Spirno reminded Amy of a pirate. Only this time, she was the elusive bounty.
