Christiana Saint-Ange is ready to die. Revolutionary France has become a living hell and her life along with it. When her aristocratic brother enlists the aid of the freedom-loving Americans to rescue her from her appointment with Madame Guillotine, she finds herself sailing to America. Can she put her country and her past behind her?
Captain Neil Blakely is more than willing to be the white knight when the situation calls for it. He's just more accustomed to his damsels in distress being grateful for his help. His latest charge is threatening his crew with the cutlery. In the time it takes to sail to America, can he discover what demons haunt his reluctant passenger? And, does her family really expect him to just hand her over to a fiancé she's never met?
Can love breathe new life into a shattered heart?

Well that was graphic. Did she really commit adultery with the guards, then?
Where does she think she's gonna go? She's on a ship!
Nice bedside manner, Doc. Not.
I could have told her that it was Pigue.
It's a sad thing, to bury a child. At least she was not alone.

Mary Jean Adams has written a beautiful novel which highlighted the plight of the aristocracy in France during the revolution. The characters of Christina and Neil were dealt with, each with sufficientl detail. Whilst Christina seemed like to be someone that I wasn't sure that Neil would fall in love with, Adams successfully draws out their fears and weaknesses without making either character appear unappealing. I will be looking out for more by Adams in the future.
