There she meets Peter Stark, understeward for the royal party. Peter is attracted to the beauty of the island-and to Molly, whom he's determined to shield from the antics the antics of the playboy prince. When they discover a long-buried secret that could bring shame to Peter's royal employer, will he remain a loyal servant-or help Molly and her family get the justice they deserve?
