| Plot Summary of The Dream |
|---|
"Genny Austin has been suffering from nightmares since the murder of her husband two years earlier. Walking on the beach seems to help her relax after her dreams but one night she encounters three men on the beach who intend to rape her. Jack Brennan shows up just in time to save her and finds himself instantly attracted to her. The only problem is Jack is a love 'em and leave 'em type who doesn't believe in love and Genny has only been with one man in her whole life.
Jack is willing to take his time to get what he wants from Genny and in the process he and his friends become involved in the mystery of trying to solve the meaning of Genny's dreams. Even though it was thought that the dreams were about her husband's murder it is becoming evident that there is a different meaning.
Meanwhile Jack is busy trying to find the money to save his salvage ship from being repossessed by the bank. A storm causes a cargo ship to sink and Jack hopes to be able to salvage the cargo and save his own ship.
