She and the other captured adults understand that their lives are limited by the life of the mine. Katherine Fortescue has fled the life of poverty her wastrel father had bequeathed her and come to Freetown as a governess, only to be kidnapped and put to work overseeing a child workforce at a mine. His actions are decisive, and he completes the mission's next stage-but responsibility, once exercised, has taken root, and he remains in the jungle to guard the captives whose rescue is the mission's ultimate goal.
When opportunity strikes, he seizes the next leg of the covert mission his brothers have been pursuing and sails to Freetown. Captain Caleb Frobisher, hedonistic youngest son of a seafaring dynasty, wants to be taken seriously by his family, and understands he has to prove himself sufficiently reformed. #1 New York Times best-selling author Stephanie Laurens brings you the third instalment in THE ADVENTURERS QUARTET, continuing the drama of Regency-era high seas adventure, laced with a mystery shrouded in the heat of tropical jungles, and spiced with the passionate romances of four couples and their unexpected journeys into love. Responsibility knocks, and a reckless, hedonistic man responds and opens the door to love-thus is a daredevil snared.
