by Laura Frantz >> It is 1755, and the threat of war with France looms over colonial York, Virginia. Chocolatier Esmée Shaw is reconciled to life alone after a decade-old, failed love affair from which she’s never quite recovered. Yet she longs to find something worthwhile to do with her life. Captain Henri Lennox has returned to port after a lengthy absence, intent on completing the lighthouse in the dangerous Chesapeake Bay, a dream he once shared with Esmée. But when the colonial government asks him to lead a secret naval expedition against the French, his future is plunged into uncertainty. Will a war and a cache of regrets keep them apart, or can their shared vision and dedication to the colonial cause heal the wounds of the past? A Heart Adrift will whisk you away to a time fraught with peril—on the sea and in the heart—in this redemptive, romantic story.
