Synopsis
On a misty sea near Nassau, a chance encounter in a small boat sparks a dangerous, irresistible attraction.
A moody romantic tale unfolds among shimmering yachts, green palms, and the scent of jasmine and orange groves. The first meeting between a wary young man and a striking woman unfolds with quiet humor, simmering tension, and a sense that something forbidden may be possible just beyond the fog.
- A lush, coastal setting with tropical gardens, palm-fringed shores, and a sea lane that hides more than it reveals
- A tense, playful exchange that rides between flirtation and restraint
- A mystery around who the other person really is, and what the night may unleash
- A slow-burn romance that tests convention and loyalty against desire
Ideal for readers who enjoy atmospheric period romances with mood, texture, and a hint of danger.

About the Author
Robert William Chambers was an American author who is best known for his Art Nouveau short-story collection, The King in Yellow, considered to be one of the most important examples of American supernatural fiction. Chambers was a prolific writer, and although he continued to write within the weird genre, publishing The Maker of Moon, The Mystery of Choice, and The Tree of Heaven, none of his subsequent efforts achieved the success of The King in Yellow. Chambers early works greatly influenced the work of H.P. Lovecraft and other horror writers, as well as the 2014 HBO television show True Detective. Robert Chambers died in 1933 at the age of 68.
