In order to get to her secret fiancé in Jamaica, Charlotte Ransome must disguise herself as Charles Lott, a midshipman who joins the crew of one of the ships in a convoy led by her brother—Commodore William Ransome. Unknown to her, First Lieutenant Ned Cochrane, also in Ransome’s convoy, has set his heart on Charlotte after meeting her briefly in Portsmouth. But because he is about to leave for a year of duty in the Caribbean, he despairs of finding her unmarried when he returns home.
During the transatlantic journey, an attack on the convoy throws Ned and “Midshipman Lott” together. Though unsure as to whether he should let Charlotte know he sees through her ruse, Ned decides to keep her secret for now . . . and hopes to eventually win her love. However, Charlotte soon discovers that losing her heart to the handsome lieutenant is not the only danger she faces on this Atlantic crossing.
Courage, faith, hope, and love shine in this exciting romantic sea adventure from the Regency era.
