Midsummer Eve 1670. Two unexpected visitors arrive at a shabby warehouse on the south side of the River Thames. The first is a wealthy man hoping to find the lover he deserted twenty-one years before. James Avery has everything to offer, including the favour of the newly restored King Charles II, and he believes that the warehouse's poor owner Alinor has the one thing his money cannot buy—his son and heir. The second visitor is…

The story begins on Midsummer Eve 1670. Livia, Rob’s widow, has come from Venice to London to live with his family. She is horrified to find they are a poor family and sets her sights on marrying into nobility. Alinor sends her granddaughter Sarah to Venice to find out if Rob is really dead. Ned has left England for the colonies. Winter is approaching and he is trying to adapt to the cold weather and relations between the colonists and the indigenous people.

The theme of first book in the series, Tidelands, was unrequited love. This book is all about deceit. It is written in the third person from three different perspectives: Ned in New England, Sarah in Venice, and the three women in London. The story is fast paced, and the characters are well developed. There were twists in the book that I did not see coming and the ending makes me long for the next book in the series to see what will happen next. This book did not disappoint at all and I highly recommend it.
