When school teacher Violet Johansen “disappears” from the parking lot of Eilean Donan Castle to escape a disturbing travel companion, she's rescued by bagpiper Nathan McPhearson, who looks dreamily familiar, and Lyndsie, a Scottish baker, who spirits her onto a pirate ship to secure her freedom. But everything comes with a price, both spur-of-the-moment decisions and mistakes made long ago. Violet soon learns that fleeing the present won't solve her problems as long as she's hostage to her history. Pirates. Passion. A Piper. Will Violet and Nathan's troubles keep them anchored to the past, or will their dreams for the future finally come true?
