In 18th century Britian, what a young lady wants isn’t always what she gets—unless she’s willing to pay a price.
A forbidden passion . . .
A daughter’s betrayal . . .
A quest for truth.
Constance has it all—except the one thing she wants most: her mother. So she sneaks aboard her father’s merchant ship, defying all rules and —more importantly—betraying her father’s invaluable trust. What she doesn’t expect to find is Alexandre, a handsome stowaway with a sinister past.
An irresistible force draws Constance to Alexandre, despite her attempts to tear herself away. Loving him would be scandal, but Constance is bound to Alexandre by more than passion; they valuable pear she hides for him represents his only chance at freedom.
Alexandre doesn’t just lay claim to Constance’s heart. He’s also the one person who can solve the mystery behind her mother’s disappearance.
Will Constance forsake her father for a love that could ruin them all?
