Finding a sailor washed up on the shore of the Gulf of Mexico's Mobile Bay, Fiona Lanier realizes she knows him. Charlie Kincaid, now a British naval officer, does not remember Fiona or her family who left England to settle in America. Bringing him to her home to recuperate, Fiona hides his true identity. Anti-British sentiment runs high in the newly independent United States, and if Charlie is discovered, he will be hanged as a spy. Fiona and Charlie develop feelings for each other, but their opposing loyalties and family interference seem destined to keep them apart. As the War of 1812 draws to a close, Charlie is captured, and it will take a miracle, along with an unshakable faith in God, to save him.
VERDICT The final book in White's historical trilogy (The Pelican Bride; The Creole Princess) is an epic romantic Southern saga set against the backdrop of the War of 1812 that will attract readers of Shelley Shepard Gray and Susan Vreeland.
