The fiery and outspoken adopted daughter of one of England's most formidable women, Shemaine O'Hearn has made powerful enemies. And now her adversaries have found a way to remove the hot-blooded beauty from her life of priviledge: by falsely convicting Shemaine of thievery, and sending her in shackles to America, where she is to be sold in indentured servitude to the hightest bidder. Gage Thornton-a shipbuilder with a young child in need of a nanny buys Shemaine and they fall for each other. But grave peril reaches out from across a vast ocean to threaten their flowering love.
