A trip home from England to Maryland in 1812 finds Emeline Baratt a
captive on a British warship and forced to declare her allegiance
between the British and Americans. Remaining somewhat politically
neutral on a ship where her nursing skills are desperately needed is
fairly easy—until she starts to have feelings for the first lieutenant
who becomes her protector. However, when the captain sends her and
Lieutenant Owen Masters on land to spy, she must choose between her love
for him and her love for her country.
Emeline has preconceived notions about what a proper Christian lady should act like. She feels like she has fallen short all her life in acting the proper lady. When her dad calls her home from England he sends his privateer ship after her. On the way back they are attacked by the British and she is taken captive.
I enjoyed reading this book. I can't say there was a lot of suspense but there is lots of actions. I don't remember reading any books by Ms. Tyndall but I will looks for her other books from now on.
I was given this book by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I was not compensated in any way.
