He’s rugged and agile, but carries a sadness in his heart that may never be healed. When perky and independent Jenny Schroder, the woman he’s loved for nine years, tells Mark she received a top-secret letter for him at her home, Matt knows that he must open the letter to see what’s inside. He also realizes he must open his heart once again. As thugs with rugs and jolly pirates appear, Mark and Jenny work together to find what they are looking for, and it just might be each other. Think Pirates of the Caribbean meets the Godfather meets You’ve Got Mail (though it’s real mail not email) meets Point Break (without the surfing).About Cuthbert Hemingnot: I was born a writer. It’s in my blood. Some people say they have a muse. I have more like forty-two muses. You might be surprised to know this took me only a day to write. Revisions are for the weak. Any mistakes you may find are because you are not focusing on the riveting story, and you should be blamed. This will be my debut abbreviated novel, intended to be published
