"An acclaimed historical novelist makes her American debut-with a story of love and war in colonial America and England.
Makepeace Burke, fishing one early morning in Boston Harbor, finds herself rescuing an English aristocrat who's been set on by a Patriot mob and dumped in the harbor to drown. Though Makepeace is a staunch Patriot herself and scorns the Englishman, the mob soon turns on her because of her act of charity, placing her life in peril. When the Englishman offers her a lifeline, there seems no other course for Makepeace. Her journey with him across the Atlantic will change her life..."
“Makepeace is so irresistibly indomitable, readers will relish every moment of her unforgettable adventures.”
—Booklist
“Moves at a cracking pace…An exhilarating sense of those times and their possibilities.”
—The Daily Telegraph
