Desperate to escape her father's prudish and perverse mandate that she not have anything to do with the opposite sex, Lydia Holcomb embarks upon a journey that throws her into a man's world and rules in the Victorian era. The beginnings of her journey do not bode well, and high seas threaten her life. Rescued by Captain Ian MacLeod of The Emerald Tartan, Lydia fights for the life and freedom she wants and realizes that any success or failure in her life are her choice alone. From battling primitive tribesmen, slave traders, and her own lack of confidence, she and Ian travel from Cape Horn, to Hawaii, to the Barbary Coast in San Francisco, and back to England and Scotland. They must work together to overcome weather, criminals, and personal shortcomings in their lives to find their chance for happiness together. As they discover, two heads really are better than one!
