Set in 1804 Baltimore and on the high seas of the Atlantic
Ocean, historical romance comes alive in this sweeping love
story by Amelia Grey. Amid the treachery and intrigue of
Napoleonic France, a beautiful woman is entangled in a web
of danger, betrayal, and irresistible desire.
Unemployed governess Chelly Worthington is happy to accept
the job of caring for a child on a voyage to France. The
difficult task will be hiding her attraction to wealthy ship
owner, Austin Radcliffe who has promised to pay her
handsomely when the boy is safely delivered to his father.
But staying out of the enticing man’s arms is impossible.
Austin Radcliffe must pay a debt to the man who saved his
mother’s life no matter how distasteful the request. But
will keeping his promise to Napoleon’s youngest brother cost
him the love of his life?
Chelly quickly finds out that all it not as legitimate as it
seems and is forced to take matters into her own hands, even
at the risk of losing the man she loves.
