Poppy Bridgerton was visiting a friend to keep her occupied while her husband was away. One afternoon, Poppy decided to take a walk along the beach while her friend napped. She happened upon a cave and decided to explore. Unfortunately, the cave was being used by privateers to store goods. Because she found their hideout, they took her back to their ship. They didn’t want to have their hideout reported to the authorities. Poppy soon found herself aboard a ship bound for Lisbon, Portugal.
Captain Andrew James hoped he would be able to complete his mission in Lisbon quickly and return back to England to bring the lady back to her home. He was very glad that their lives had not crossed before the events leading her to the confinement on his ship. Captain James was really Andrew James Rokesby and was distantly related to Poppy by marriage. He was secretly working for the British government carrying important documents back and forth to emissaries in foreign countries. As the ship was currently fully staffed, there was no other room for Poppy to use during the voyage. Andrew and Poppy would have to share the Captain’s Quarters and make do the best they could.
I enjoyed reading Poppy and Andrew’s story. Poppy was determined and knew what she wanted in life. I love a regency novel where the heroine is not the run of the mill miss looking for anyone to take her off of the marriage mart. Andrew was a kind and thoughtful hero who was concerned for everyone aboard his ship. Both cared deeply for their families and had much in common. As expected, their time in close proximity led to romance. I enjoyed meeting other characters I had met in previous books. There is one more book in this series and I look forward to reconnecting with the Bridgertons/Rokesbys soon.
