Publisher's Synopsis
Compelled to immigrate to America by a prearranged marriage in 1822, an innocent young English girl falls in love for the first time with the mysterious captain of the Sea Eagle. In this epic, Edwina Stewart naively gets ensnared in a charade instigated in the Caribbean; then replicates itself for more than a decade. While Edwina endeavors to unravel this man's enigma, she is thwarted by a biased system in the old South and continually haunted by this chance encounter. Was it her misfortune to remain ignorant about a man's passion, or is it destiny waiting to be fulfilled by a woman progressive enough to permit her guiding spirit to be her heart?
