After a decade of captaining diplomatic voyages for Frobisher Shipping, alongside covert missions for the Crown, Captain Robert Frobisher decides that establishing a home - with hearth and wife should be his next challenge. But an unexpected mission intervenes and he agrees to depart for West Africa forthwith. In Freetown, Miss Aileen Hopkins is set on finding her younger brother Will, a naval lieutenant who has disappeared. Aileen is not about to allow anyone to turn her from her path. But all too quickly, that path grows dark and dangerous. And then Robert Frobisher appears and attempts to divert her in more ways than one.
