Synopsis

1812: With her guardian planning to remarry, 20-year-old Phoebe Dymond finds she is no longer welcome in his Falmouth home and is soon hustled aboard the packet ship Providence bound for Jamaica and an arranged marriage.

A skilled herbalist and midwife, Phoebe clashes with ship's surgeon, Jowan Crossley. But their professional antagonism evolves into mutual respect and a deepening attraction neither dare acknowledge.

Following a skirmish with a French privateer, Providence is robbed of crew by a Royal Navy frigate and arrives to find the island facing a slave revolt and Kingston flooded with French refugees.

Escorted by Jowan to the plantation of which she will be mistress, terrifying events force Phoebe to relinquish all hope of the happiness she has glimpsed. But her journey is not yet over...

Media Reviews
By the end of the book I realized with considerable delight that just about everything I thought was going to happen hadn't, so read it and see how this sort of thing can go in the right hands. If you used to like romantic suspense and gothics but think they won't stand up these days then this is for you. -- Rachel A Hyde * MyShelf.com *
Gripping, enthralling and unputdownable, Dangerous Waters is historical romance at its absolute best! -- Julie Bonello * SingleTitles.com *
