Tabitha is a single midwife fighting to keep her position after one of her patients dies. On a trip to the beach, she runs literally into a British man, Dominick. After all the abductions of men in the area by British Navy vessels, Tabitha decides to keep an eye on Dominick in case he is involved with the kidnappings.
Tabitha's fiance from two years before pops back up in town. He abandoned her to try his life at sea and gets abducted by the British but also happens to escape them somehow. He comes back to see if he has any chance with Tabitha. After an encounter between his fishing boat and the British, Dominick begins to suspect that his return may not be as innocent as it appears.
Dominick himself is apparently of noble birth but some circumstance has brought him to America to be a servant for four years. I never really found out what he did, they kept hinting at something he said about the church, but I have no clue.
I think I got tired of all the secrets. Dominick is working for his uncle in America trying to find out "something" after he did "something" and Tabitha's fiance is up to "something." It is so blatantly being hidden from even the reader that it got me too frustrated to move on. I wasn't looking forward to coming back to the book after I would put it down. I was almost happy after I had finished a chapter, like I had just paid penance.
