About:
It is 1755, and the threat of war with France looms over
colonial York, Virginia. Chocolatier Esmée Shaw is fighting her own battle of
the heart. Having reached her twenty-eighth birthday, she is reconciled to life
alone after a decade-old failed love affair from which she's never quite
recovered. But she longs to find something worthwhile to do with her life.
Captain Henri Lennox has returned to port after a lengthy absence, intent on completing the lighthouse in the dangerous Chesapeake Bay, a dream he once shared with Esmée. But when the colonial government asks him to lead a secret naval expedition against the French, his future is plunged into uncertainty.
Can Esmée and Henri's shared vision and dedication to the colonial cause heal the wounds of the past and reunite them?
