Ten years working for a mysterious crime boss and River “Captain” Kipling is ready to leave his past behind him and move on. The only thing standing in the way is his commitment to launch a new restaurant in the resort town of Rosemary Beach. With his sister, Blaire, nearby, Captain delays his dream of running a bar on the waterfront a little longer, but the unwanted flirty attentions of his head waitress, Elle, has him itching to get out – until he notices Rose Henderson, the new waitress at the restaurant. All Captain knows about the pretty redhead with the cute glasses is that she’s a hardworking single mum from Oklahoma. But there’s something very familiar about her eyes and her laugh… something strange about the way she looks at Captain… could she be a welcome blast from the past?
