From the Back Cover:
Emeline Baratt has been caring for others ever since she could walk. First her younger brothers and then, after she learned doctoring from her physician uncle in Maryland, everyone else in need, including her great aunt in England. But America and England are at war, and with her aunt's death, Emeline finds herself trapped behind enemy lines with no means of support--a terrifying prospect. Traveling home from England on one of her father's privateers seems no less frightening.
When the HMS Marauder overtakes the American ship, First Lieutant Owen Masters is shocked to find a beautiful woman aboard and even more shocked when she announces her loyalty to England and begins tending the wounded--both British and American--with equal care. If she is a traitor to her country, Own wants nothing to do with her.
Hiding her true allegiances on a ship where her nursing skills are desperately needed is fairly easy--until Emeline starts to have feelings for the first lieutenant who becomes her protector. However, when the captain sends her and Owen on land to spy for the British, they both are forced to choose between love for each other or love for country.
My Thoughts:
MaryLu Tyndall provides a high adventure on the open seas with this exciting story about Emeline and First Lieutenant Owen Masters. I enjoyed reading this story as it plunged me into the chaos of wartime in the Atlantic Ocean. History is always fun reading for me, and I love to learn more about my American roots. The story was engaging and kept me interested from start to finish, and MaryLu's book is a fun addition to the Daughters of the Mayflower series. If you are looking for a fun historical series to read, then make sure to pick up The Daughters of the Mayflower. You can read about all the books in the series by visiting this website: Daughters of the Mayflower.
My Rating: ★★★★
