Will Louisa remain steadfast in her journey, or will she waver at the prospect of finding love along the way? Will the devilish charms of a recent university graduate she meets on board the ship change her mind about marriage? Or will he become just another pawn in the larger scheme unfolding between England and the newly-established America? Read on for a tale of romance, adventure, and of course, deception!
