Let the Revolution begin...
In June 1775, amid the Revolutionary War’s early stirrings, Irish Yankee Jeremiah O’Brien, seizes a British schooner off the coast of Maine to keep her cargo of lumber from supplying the British in Boston. After his first daring victory, Jeremiah leaves his lumber business to command privateer vessels, pursuing British merchant ships with relentless determination across dangerous waters.
Defying the British Navy’s tightening grip on the Massachusetts coast, he risks his life and his ships to capture many prizes. Yet his greatest challenge may lay onshore: winning the heart of Lizzy Fitzpatrick, a woman as bold and free as the cause he fights for. Only a man worthy of the title “the hero of the Lexington of the Sea” could win her heart.
