One woman takes the treacherous journey toward redemption . . . and love.
All Phoebe Lee wants out of life is to practice midwifery in Loudon County, Virginia. But when she refuses to accompany her pregnant sister-in-law to help save her husband from an English prison during the War of 1812, Phoebe finds herself pressed aboard a British privateer.
Captain Rafe Docherty promises to get Phoebe's brother-in-law out of prison in exchange for information Rafe needs to exact revenge on the man who destroyed his family. As he realizes his attraction to Phoebe, she determines to get ashore before her patient goes into labor--and before her own heart is in danger. But an enemy in their midst threatens to end their plans--and their very lives.

"Laurie Alice Eakes's turn of phrase and twist of a plot had me smiling long after the last page was turned. A don't-miss story."--Kathleen Y'Barbo, author of The Inconvenient Marriage of Charlotte Beck
"Make room for this one on your 'keepers' shelf!"--Loree Lough, author of From Ashes to Honor
