Book description
When Emily Wentworth's father dies at sea, her father's friend-and
Emily's appointed guardian-Jonathon Brentwood arrives at her home in
London to take her with him to the colonies. Emily, just 17, has
decided that she is fully capable of taking care of herself and sets
out to prove that to her new guardian.
Emily's one chance to remain in London is to marry, but when the
opportunity arises, she knows she would rather follow Jonathon across
an ocean to a land in upheaval than to stay safely in London.
But Jonathon's involvement in patriot activity against England
disturbs-and threatens-Emily, a loyal subject of the king. The
colonial rebellion is the backdrop for misunderstanding, fear,
mistrust, and danger. Will love's destiny ensure that Emily and
Jonathon stay together, even in the face of death?
