After leaving England behind for a new life in the West Indies with her
sisters, Verity Banning wants something to call her own. Her affinity
for animals inspires her to set up a business importing horses, as well
as other goods in demand by the island residents. But when she arrives
in the Colonies to purchase her goods, unexpected news of Captain Duncan
McKintrick awaits her--as does the captain's handsome brother,
Ian--whose sympathies lie with the fledgling Patriot cause.
As
the great-granddaughter of a British general and friend to many
Loyalists, Verity believed all she wanted was a peaceful resolution. But
both the Patriots and the impassioned Ian McKintrick are steadily
laying claim to her heart. When faced with the decision of what--and for
whom--she will fight, can she set her feet on a new path despite the
danger that awaits?
This is the second book in The Sugar Baron's Daughters. It is not necessary to read the first book in order to know what is going on. Although, it would probably be helpful in understanding the sisters' history on how they came to the island.
Verity sets sail to the colonies to purchase supplies for her new mercantile store. She is also wanting to find out what has happened to Captain Duncan McKintrick. The news is quite a shock to her. Captain Ian McKintrick, Duncan's brother, helps her secure her supplies as well as agrees to transport for her. Ian is focused on revenge against the pirate who killed Duncan and the English who took over Duncan's ship. As the book unfolds, Verity has some decisions to make. Does she stay loyal to the English or does she support the Rebels. Either way she is in for a hard time. There is also trouble back on the island. Supplies are getting low now that the English have set up blockades into the colonies ports so that no ships can enter or leave.
I recommend this book for those who like adventure. We were given a glimpse into what the next book will be about. Looking forward to reading it.
I was given this book by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I was not compensated in any way.
