But Drake Rothwell has other plans. A dashing privateer who was raised by Rosalind's father, he returns from the high seas to claim Thornbury as his own. Their merry battle takes a turn for the worse when the queen settles their dispute — by taking the house from both of them. Desperate, Drake and Rosalind join forces to lay double claim to the land by marrying — in name only. But soon the Rose of Thornbury realizes the one territory she cannot protect from Drake is her heart.
