Description

Woman Eloise Bartholomew's visit to Sydney to the shirttails of her daring sibling leads to catastrophe when he dies from the temperature. But using the conferences of English culture stopped to the high-seas, she discovers enthusiasm and exhilaration within the hands of the tough vessel's chief-only to be left back to the lot, still burning in the flame ignited in her and the increasing loss of the only man she could ever love. More at home on his dispatch than dallying with the lot, Gabriel Lyons, currently the Duke of Dale, meant not to set foot in Birmingham again. Nevertheless when an elder sibling dies, and the girl who said his heart over his love for the sea provides him home, he understands he's to manage the secrets of his past.
