Synopsis

Spring 1803 Jane Charlesworth, Daughter Of England's Foremost Code Breaker, Is The Only Person Thought Capable Of Deciphering A Vital Government Document. But When A Naval Frigate Is Sent To Enlist Her Services And Transport Her To Malta, Jane Is Horrified. Haunted With Terrible Memories Of An Earlier Voyage, She Has No Intention Of Putting Herself Under The Protection Of The Admiralty Ever Again. Anxious To Be At The Forefront Of The Action As The Peace With France Crumbles, Adam Marston Is Livid When His Ship Is Diverted To Collect A Reluctant Blue-stocking Whose Accusing Eyes And Insolent Manner Hold Nothing But Contempt For Him And His Orders. Sparks Fly When Captain And Code Breaker Find They Have Different Ideas On How To Handle A French Attack, A Malicious Chaplain, And Boisterous Midshipmen. Duty And Desire Collide As They Approach Malta, But Jane Is Determined That Her Judgment Will Not Be Clouded By Adam Who, Once He Has Despatched His Rebellious Cargo, Will Sail Out Of Her Life Again. But, As The Ship Docks, Jane's Life Becomes A Nightmare And She Is Forced To Gamble That Adam Is The Only Person She Can Trust. As Passion Battles With Duty, Will Future Orders Throw Them Together Or Tear Them Apart?
