Reunited after many years apart, Captain Frederick Wentworth and Anne Elliot are determined nothing will stop them marrying and embarking on their future together. Eager to escape Bath, and the members of Anne's family who are less than thrilled about the match, they both return to Somerset, where Frederick can lodge with his sister, and Anne with hers, while they plan their wedding.

With new friends offering support and after the surprise arrival in the countryside of another émigré or two from Bath, will all be plain sailing as Anne and Frederick set forth on this next chapter of their lives together?

This is book two of the Fate and Fortune series, a variation on Jane Austen's Persuasion.
