An RT BOOK REVIEWS top pick. "Sylvia Halliday spins a marvelous tale...as stubborn lovers enter into a clash of wills on board a ship." -RT BOOK REVIEWS Prudence Allbright believes Lord Jamie's declarations of love-so much so that she vows to follow him to the Colonies. It is onboard the ship that will take her to him that she meets the honorable Dr. Ross Manning, and a flame of passion ignites. Ross is determined not to defile the memory of his late wife, but night after night he longs to hold Prudence in his arms. When Prudence discovers Jamie has already gone back to England without her, Ross knows he may have only one last chance to claim Prudence as his own. But can love stand against the secrets of Prudence's past?
When I reluctantly started this book I didn't think I would like it, but I was wrong. This book was so absorbing. I was drawn into this story and couldn't put it down. These two principal characters were in such close quarters on the ship that, despite his dark and tortured past and her naive ideas about love, they were inexorably drawn to each other. I was reading until the sun came up and hardly noticed. I highly recommend it.
