Two years ago, her fiance perished
during their voyage to America.
Now she discovers it may have been murder...
Dreaming of a better life, Tillie McGrath leaves Ireland
behind and, with her beloved fiance by her side, sets sail for
America. But when illness robs her of the man she holds dear, she's
left alone with only a handful of tattered memories. While forging
on proves difficult, Tillie soon finds some new friends at her New
York boardinghouse, and begins pursuing a new dream--to open a home
for orphaned children.
Despite two years passing, Captain Keondric Morgan has never
forgotten the lass who left his ship so heartbroken. When a
crewman's deathbed confession reveals her fiance's demise was the
result of murder, the captain knows he must try to contact her. But
his attention draws the notice of others as well--dangerous men who
believe Tillie has in her possession something that could expose
their crimes. And to their way of thinking, the best way to prevent
such an outcome is to seize the evidence and then hand Tillie the
same fate as her naïve fiance.
