During the opening scenes of this story, Taylor Stapleton had been dumped by her fiance' and the most powerful force in Taylor's life, Lady Esther lay dying. The reader soon learns that Taylor's Uncle Malcolm is an unsavory charactor who is greedy and plotting how he will spend all of Lady Esther's money as soon as she is gone.
However, Lady Esther has the last laugh because she plots a scam that strips all the money from her son (Uncle Malcolm) and rewards Taylor and her sister's young twin daughters (who live in Boston). Lady Esther finds a husband for Taylor to protect her on the dangerous trip to America.
Although the story is almost 550 pages, it moves quickly. I thought Lucas Ross' adventure with a dishonest commander was unnecessary and weighed the story down.
