Alex and Miles have known each other for a few years and since the first time they've met at school they hated each other. After they finish school it seems as if they won't ever meet again because Miles moved to a different city to work in a big company, plus why would he even like to meet Alex again? Unfortunately, Miles has to go back to Sheffield after he gets fired. Where will he go now? Will Alex and Miles ever meet again?

Port Merryn, Cornwall 1785 and Alexander Turner is the youngest son of wealthy boatyard owner Abraham Turner. A kind and fair man, Alex is ashamed of the behaviour of his father and older brother Percy, and instead prefers to spend his time in the local village, usually in The Cornerstone Inn, offering legal advice to the poverty-stricken townspeople who have no one on their side. Into the village comes pirate Captain Miles Kane and his ragged crew, who find themselves in Port Merryn due to their ship being damaged. Sexy and wild, Miles draws attention from both the men and women of the town and he is determined to have fun during his stay in Cornwall and make some money along the way, whatever it takes. When Miles and Alex meet, it is hate at first sight. Alex fears Miles will lure the disenfranchised young men of the town into a life of piracy, and Miles sees Alex as the person blocking his way into making enough money to retire to the Caribbean. As fate brings Alex and Miles closer together, will their hatred turn into passion? And when a tragic event happens, turning Alex against his family once and for all, will he be tempted to join Miles in his life of crime and danger?

Miles believed he did somewhat of a good job at hiding his feelings from himself; no matter what his heart told him his brain kept pushing them away. It worked for a while. But his feelings kept creeping up on him, drowning him. The only thing keeping him afloat was his own mind, telling him that it would never work out, that Alex would never like him the way he did. His feelings were getting progressively harder to manage. The days since before they met seemed to all blur into one. Every bad thing that had happened, every worry that was bothering him seemed to dissipate once Alex entered his life, it's as if the sky itself became more radiant. Miles spent many restless nights thinking about Alex, wondering that perhaps maybe, his feelings were reciprocated. It was the casual gestures he would make that made him hopeful; brushing against his shoulder, the hand holding, the hugs that lasted a little too long, for god's sake even the way he smiled at him felt different.
