Set during the War of 1812, this is the story of Maren
Jones, an American who is sailing on her cousin’s ship from England to her home
in New Orleans when a privateer by the name of Captain Hawk attacks and boards
their ship.
The infamous Captain Hawk is actually Jared Morgan, a patriot from
Savannah who is working for President Madison and looking for traitors
supporting the British. Maren’s cousin, Eric, tells her he is also working for
the President, but it seems he is lying to her about many things.
Maren met Jared when she was 15 and was so enthralled, she disguised
herself as a lad and followed the handsome young man around the wharf. So, when
he captures her ship and then steals a kiss, she does not resist. Jared finds
her enchanting, but he is also suspicious of both her cousin and her.
