Overview

River pirates, a stolen steamboat, and a deadly chase down the Mississippi-but falling in love might be the real adventure. When river pirates attack and steal his steamboat, Emmett Carter barely escapes.

With her dreams of saving the family legacy-and the only life she's ever known-slipping away, she forges an alliance with Emmett to keep her family afloat. Now, to outsmart the gangsters chasing them, Anola and Emmett must wade through a dark current of deception and betrayal to save not only their dreams, but everyone they care about, from sinking deeper into the Mississippi River.
