In a world where freedom is questioned and everything is in turmoil, Lady Sarah Emiline Townshend needs to hide her identity for fear that mobs will kill her and her family after her uncle-a political leader-passed laws that the good citizens in Boston did not approve of. Her father sends her to stay with some longtime friends of his in New Hampshire. But to stay safe, her maid must play Lady Sarah's role...and Emiline will play Lady Sarah's companion. When Emiline meets a handsome man, she suddenly wants him to look at her as a woman-not as a servant. Protecting her life, however, is more important than confessing the truth. Gabriel Lawrence's pirate ship is almost captured and this time it was too close. He and his crew need to hide for a few months in hopes that the Royal Navy will forget about them. During his stay at his aunt and uncle's in New Hampshire, he meets the niece of one of his enemies-Oliver Townshend. Because she doesn't know who Gabe is, he will become close to her to see if she knows any more of her uncle's secrets. But the beauty of her companion, Miss Emmie, captures his attention, and her quirky personality keeps him wanting more. But her over-zealous nature for adventure places both of them in danger and he's forced to play the honorable rogue. How can he protect them both when an unknown spy is always one step ahead...and wants Gabe dead?
