Stranded Mary-Kate can't believe it when the cruise she's working takes off without her, leaving her behind on a remote south Pacific island. Despite all attempts to be reunited with her ship, this island is off the beaten path and accessibility is limited. As the days pass, she becomes involved with the islanders and discovers a unique lifestyle so different from her own that's highly appealing.

Suspicious Dane Carmichel is a leading land owner on the island and suspicious of Mary-Kate's story. When she asks for help getting off the island, he informs her of the next boat-in eighteen days. Reluctantly offering her a place to stay, he remains suspicious of her motives-even more so when she begins to fit in with the island way of life.

Sail Away When Mary-Kate's about to change her mind about wanting to leave, the rescue ship arrives. Now what's a woman to do-leave the man she's fallen in love with behind, or stay where she's not wanted?
