Description: "1754: Thomas Neville has resigned his commission in the twenty-second of foot to sail to the Americas in search of his sweetheart, Emily - sold into slavery by the evil Reverend Cruikshank. Neville and his small band of ex-soldiers fight their way past pirates on the high seas and see off a French expeditionary force on Georgia's frontier - only to find that, together with her friend Leila, Emily has made good her own escape. On their return to England they face highwaymen, grave robbers, thugs and traitors - yet Neville's greatest challenge lies in declaring his feelings for the woman he loves."--Publisher description.
