Description
Trying to run from the grief and pain that follows her about in England, Clarissa Gaspar leaves her homeland to start a new life in the year 1800. With the help of a family friend, the eighteen-year-old procures passage on a brig to the new, independent United States of America; hoping to start afresh and leave behind all the suspicious eyes and murmurs in England that's plagued her since her childhood... Clarissa thought the worse thing she'd have to overcome would be the unfamiliar pitch and roll of the waves, but life taught her otherwise when her ship is attacked by pirates off the coast of Cuba. She fears for her life once the young pirate captain, Daniel Drake, finds out her secret; one that she had wished to keep hidden on this new chapter of her life. But the captain surprises her in more ways than one as she's brought aboard his ship and the two become closer than either one ever thought possible. Follow Clarissa and Captain Drake as they each learn the power of love, forgiveness, and the redeeming grace that God offers to all...
