In Lobster Cove Maine, in 1814, Abigail Quinn wanders the beach, as she normally does after a storm, searching for anything of worth, that she may sell at the market or use in her home. Having lost her husband at sea, almost two years ago, she still carries the hope that he may walk up the beach towards her. When she stumbles across a naked man, barely alive, Abigail vows to help him. Taking him back to her cottage, she nurses him as best she can.

When the stranger awakens, he has no memory of who he is, but as he speaks with a British accent, he should be her enemy. But Abigail is attracted to him and to the kindness he shows her. As their feelings grow and passion flares, they are suddenly forced to take action. As the stranger, who adopts the name Samuel, does not want to risk Abigail, they seek the help of her brother to transport him to the nearest British camp.

Heartbroken to lose another person that she loves, Abigail promises to never give up hope, and that he will find her again. But all is not what it seems. With espionage, escape plots and hidden friends, will Samuel discover his true identity? And when he finds himself in danger again, will he ever be able to return to his true love?

STORM OF THE HEART by Anna Small is an entertaining, action packed, short tale, perfect for break time. The romance that blossoms between Abigail and Samuel is both sweet and passionate, and I found myself wishing that Abigail would learn to open her heart again. STORM OF THE HEART by Anna Small is a well thought out, well written, romantic tale.
