It's the summer of 1776, and socialite Geoffrey Edmunds would like nothing better than for Generals Gage and Washington to take their troops – and their war – out of New York City. His carefully cultivated reputation as a neutral and principled rake is threatened as the impending conflict divides his family. His neutrality ends when his father is killed defending the revolutionary cause.

Determined to avenge his father's death and prove himself more than just a careless wastrel, Geoff jumps into the war with the same passion he showed in society life. Fearing reprisals against his family, however, he champions the revolutionary cause in secret as the daring and fearsome Wolf of Brooklyn Heights.

No matter how Geoff tries, redemption and the girl of his dreams seem forever out of reach. When a deadly enemy discovers his identity, he may be forced to gamble both redemption and love to save the lives of those he loves.
