Overview

Scottish Captain Margot Macleod sails the dangerous waters between freedom and justice, liberating enslaved people and disrupting the corrupt shipping empire of Lord Morgan. But when betrayal leaves her shipwrecked and wounded on a remote Hebridean lighthouse island, she finds herself at the mercy of a woman with secrets of her own.

Eliza Grey has spent eight months in isolation, hiding the truth about her father's death and protecting her brilliant mind from a world that would dismiss her. As lighthouse keeper, she's built a life of solitude on her craggy isle—until a half-drowned sea captain washes ashore during the fiercest storm she's ever witnessed.

As Eliza tends Margot's wounds, an unexpected connection forms between them. But their sanctuary becomes a prison when Margot's betrayer appears on the horizon, hunting for both her and the revolutionary information she carries. With danger closing in from all sides, they must trust each other with their darkest secrets to survive the unforgiving Scottish coast. In this sweeping maritime romance, two brilliant women discover that home isn't a place—it's what they build together in the eye of the storm.
