Two years ago, her fiance perished during
their voyage to
America.
Now she discovers it may have been
murder...
Dreaming of a better life, Tillie McGrath
leaves Ireland
behind and, with her beloved fiance by her side, sets
sail
for America. But when illness robs her of the man she
holds
dear, she's left alone with only a handful of tattered
memories. While forging on proves difficult, Tillie soon
finds some new friends at her New York boardinghouse, and
begins pursuing a new dream--to open a home for orphaned
children.
Despite two years passing, Captain Keondric
Morgan has
never
forgotten the lass who left his ship so heartbroken. When
a
crewman's deathbed confession reveals her fiance's demise
was the result of murder, the captain knows he must try
to
contact her. But his attention draws the notice of others
as
well--dangerous men who believe Tillie has in her
possession
something that could expose their crimes. And to their
way
of thinking, the best way to prevent such an outcome is
to
seize the evidence and then hand Tillie the same fate as
her naive fiance.
