He is an American living in Rhode Island who married the proper Englishwoman.  While they loved each other, they could not live on the same continent.

She wants to know if his allegiance is still with England.Judith meets Aunt Letty's grandson Nate and thinks him a dandy.  He is nothing like her aunt described.  Yet she sees something underneath his foppish ways.  Spending time with him on a picnic makes her see Nate in a new light until he goes all aristocratic on poor little Patrick.  War is coming between England and America - people will have to choose sides.  Will Judith stay for the outcome or return home to England?Things to ponder:  Who is Palatine?  Which country holds Nate's allegiance?  Why does Judith think there is more to Nate than just being a dandy?This book makes the perfect summer read.  It is a page turner and a very fast read.  It is just the thing for the beach.  The book is filled with humor, intrigue and lots of romance.  Karla Darcy is a born storyteller and I enjoyed this book very much.  There are plenty of characters to keep the storyline moving.  I can't wait to read more of Karla Darcy's book.FTC Full Disclosure - A copy of this book was sent to me by Story Cartel in hopes I would review it. However, receiving the complimentary copy did not influence my review.
