When she sees him start to toss the cargo into the water, she knows her world is about to change forever… 1773.

When the British lay siege to Boston, her father welcomes the English army into his home, while her brothers and childhood sweetheart Silas leave to join General Washington.

But venturing into enemy territory brings her face to face with the Highlander once more.
