Ransome's Crossing (The Ransome Trilogy, #2)

About this book

To get to her secret fiance in Jamaica, Charlotte Ransome disguises herself as a midshipman and joins the crew of one of the ships in the convoy led by her brother William. First Lieutenant Ned Cochrane has only known his captain's younger sister for a brief time, but is sure she's the wife he's been praying for--except he's about to leave for the Caribbean for at least one year. An attack on the convoy gains Ned the promotion to commander he has long dreaded--especially once he discovers one of his midshipmen is actually Charlotte Ransome in disguise. After seeking Julia's advice, Ned decides to keep Charlotte's secret... and hopes to win her love. Charlotte will soon discover that losing her heart to Ned is not the greatest danger she'll face on this Atlantic crossing.
