In June 1775, amid the Revolutionary War's early stirrings, Irish Yankee Jeremiah O'Brien, seized a British armed schooner off the Maine coast to thwart the cargo of lumber she was escorting from reaching British forces in Boston. Inspired by this daring victory, Jeremiah abandoned his lumber business to command privateer vessels, relentlessly pursuing British merchant ships across dangerous waters. Defying the British navy's tightening grip on the Massachusetts coast, he risked his life and his ships to capture many prizes. Yet his greatest battle may lay onshore: winning the heart of Elizabeth Fitzpatrick, a fiercely independent woman who loves the freedom he fights for. Only a man worthy of the title "the hero of the Lexington of the Sea" could earn her love and prove himself worthy of her strength.
