1807.Europe is in turmoil.The vital British Baltic Trade has been saved by the second battle of Copenhagen,but now Napoleon has turned his attention to Portugal.Captain Sir Thomas Kydd is ordered to sail to Lisbon to assist in the evacuation of the Portuguese monarchy. There he encounters Perseohone Lockwood, the beautiful and determined admiral's daughter from his past.
But Kydd must sail for Brazil with the royal entourage and is unable to help her escape.And,when he returns to England,he finds to his dismay she is being wooed by another suitor.Going against his nature,he enters the highest echelons of London society and embarks on a determined strategy to win her back.
His new privileged position brings its own dangers: the Prince of Wales asks him to take temporary command of the Royal Yacht.Sailing to Yarmouth,Kydd realises they are being stalked by French privateers.The threat of a prince of the blood being captured sees Kydd call on daring seamanship of the highest order. Will Kydd's actions win him princely gratitude and romantic triumph or will they end in disaster?
