The Captain's Rose Buchanan Saga Book 5 - Paperback

by Anita Stansfield (Author), Elizabeth Michaels (Author)

Timothy Wentworth has devoted his life to keeping his cousin Jayce Buchanan out of trouble. The two men aimlessly sail the world on a trade ship in an attempt to forget the heartbreak and losses of the past, but Timothy wishes that Jayce would at least stay sober. From the Caribbean to the ports of young America, he can do nothing but follow Jayce from one tavern to another, continuously stepping between his cousin and his path of self-destruction. Jayce is given marvelous incentive to take control of his life when he meets the bewitching Megan O'Leary and her young daughter, Elizabeth. He agrees to give them passage home to Ireland, mostly because he wants to get to know this woman better, never imagining the danger that follows her and how the lives of everyone on board the Phoenix are about to change forever. Katelyn O'Shaugnessy has been praying for years that her sister would come home to her, and that somehow Meg could help her handle their father and his deteriorating mind, and also to save the inn that is her only means of survival. But when the answer to her prayers shows up in the form of two men who have risked everything to reunite her family, Kate's own past comes back to haunt her. As she attempts to look past the years and hardships that have come between her and her sister, she becomes entangled in the dangerous web of Meg's making that cannot be undone without putting lives on the line. The Captain's Rose is a long-awaited volume by master storyteller Anita Stansfield, a novel that explores the nature of human relationships while at the same time carries the reader through a nineteenth-century adventure of murder and betrayal, intrigue and treachery. This is a book that will touch your heart and take your breath away!
