Fall in love with "an ideal romantic hero" on an epic quest "involving the opium trade, a gold rush, lost heirs, murder and other bits of skullduggery" (Historical Novel Society).

Georgiana da Silva is catapulted out of the Victorian drawing rooms and into a world of danger, when she escapes her fiendish fiancé to engage in a mad dash across the world to save her brother before an unknown assassin can find him.

Meanwhile, Cpt. Harry Trent is setting sail for New Zealand. With a mission to complete and the law on his heels, he's got enough trouble of his own without further complications.

Thrown together and unable to trust anyone, Georgiana and Harry are committed to seeing their quests through to the end, despite the distractions each other brings. But liberty comes at a price and the closer they get, the more they must question the true cost of being free.
