At the tender age of twelve, Lord Octavius Trevor was sent to serve in the Royal Navy and never looked back. Now, on the cusp of getting his own ship, they run into a storm that damages the ship and kills the captain. His short stay in Tortola becomes much longer. A fate he'd not looked forward to until he meets the captivating Miss Marcella Calder.
For Marcella, falling in love with Octavius was the easy part, and she's shocked when her mother refuses her permission to marry him. Duty demands he depart the island, but he promises to return. Before he does, her father sends Marcella to her sister in England where she and Octavius re-unite. But his father, the Duke of Somerset, has another marriage in mind.
