"I try so hard to be good, but sometimes it seems the world, or perhaps God, is against me."
Just hours after musing about what it would feel like to escape her impending life of stuffy expectations by plunging into the sea, Emeline Barratt is trapped on board a Royal British Navy vessel as a prisoner of war. Prompted by her travel companion to use her feminine wiles to full advantage, she feigns allegiance to Britain; using her recent stay in England with a great aunt to corroborate her story.
Lieutenant Owen Masters is walking a fine line, serving aboard the HMS Marauder while he gathers intelligence information for the American military. Shocked to discover a beautiful young woman on board as a prisoner, Owen thinks her to be a co-patriot until she spouts off her true loyalties to his captain. Except that she is an enigma, using her nursing skills to treat both American and British soldiers, while quietly deflecting attention off of herself. The women that Owen has known, and there have been quite a few of them, never seemed to think about anyone but themselves.
When duty forces Owen and Emeline to share a dangerous mission, the mantra "give me liberty or give me death" rings loud and clear. This heart throbbing tale, with its boatloads of riveting history and war time romance, showcases this author's signature ability to craft an enticing adventure on the high seas, during the war of 1812.
