Amanda Tremayne's father, a well-respected naval officer, was wrongly accused of treason and hastily executed for the crime. Before his death, he charged his only daughter with the daunting task of clearing his name and exposing the real traitor. Now, at the tender age of twenty, headstrong Amanda will stop at nothing to restore her father's honor.
With the aid of her faithful friend, Harry, she sets out to find proof of her father's innocence--but how can she know that as she searches for clues she will also stumble across the handsome and adventurous Captain Sir Jonathan Everly? And more important, how can she live with herself when she knows that the man she can't resist is one of the very men who sentenced her father to death?
I really liked this book, suprisingly. I quit reading romance books years ago because of all the smut the authors always feel they have to put in. This book had a bit of kanoodling, but nothing bad at all. The really pleasant suprise to me was the strength of the plot. In this book you find a bit of romance, danger, espionage, and action, as well as characters that are resiliant and lively. Altogether a good read!
