Synopsis

The sway of playful palm trees and never-ending sunshine seem like a fantasy compared to the smog and filth of 18th century London. Thrilled for a new life in the exotic West Indies, privileged seventeen-year-old Tessa Monroe eagerly embraces her father's reassignment to the fledgling Caribbean colony of St. Kitts where she can stake her claim as an up-and-coming socialite.

But that dream unravels when a hurricane downs their ship on the passage from England, leaving Tessa as the sole survivor. Rescued by a passing ship, Tessa's grief soon turns to terror as she realizes she isn't a passenger--she's a captive.

With a future of slavery in the offing, Tessa joins forces with Nicholas Holladay, a charismatic sailor ready to break free from a life of piracy. Mutiny is in the air. Tessa and Nicholas will either win their freedom or earn a spot at the gallows.

About this title

Review:

"...a romance with great scope and high-hearted drama." - C.B. Pratt, author of the Eno the Thracian series
"I can appreciate the level of research author Lara Hays has conducted. Better yet, she has woven these facts into the story seamlessly so that I do not feel the walls of an airless lecture hall or the droning of a dusty professor. Instead I can swing from the rigging and climb the yardarm with the characters." - Deb Atwood, author of Moonlight Dancer.
"If you're looking for a fun summer read, you'll find it in Oceanswept." - Jada Ryker, author of the Takes a Dare series
