A ring is her only tie to a distant homeland until a marooned Englishman anchors her heart.

Hannah Rose Barrington is the island misfit. Orphaned at a young age, Hannah struggles to provide for her future, while her guardian, a weak-hearted island drunk, bleeds Hannah of her father’s inheritance. Caught between the classes of elite planters and white beggars, Hannah yearns to find a place to belong.

University life has never been Bradlee Granville’s forte. His only hope to graduate is to impress his professors by documenting his travels. After claiming unforeseeable circumstances, he delays his final exams and sets out early on his Grand Tour. However, when his shipwrecks off the coast of the Leeward Islands, Bradlee is left without means to return to England, amounting deadline, and ruined journals. ​ When Hannah rescues passengers from a ship breaking apart in the bay, she’s unexpectedly drawn to the witty charm of one of the men. Helping him settle into island life will be a pleasure. However, as creditors, like sharks, begin to circle and her guardian’s desperation becomes life-threatening, Hannah finds herself in need of rescue. Will Bradlee look past her pitiful situation to see who she truly is—the sugar baron’s daughter?

About Lorri Dudley (Boston, Massachusetts Author)

Lorri Dudley

Lorri started writing romance novels as a “girlie” outlet from her testosterone-filled household. She has a wonderfully supportive husband and three very active boys who love to wrestle, catch bugs, and play in the mud. Writing romance is her way of escaping back into the softer, feminine side of life.

She enjoys creating suspenseful tension and vibrant characters and desires for readers to live through her heroines, experience their devastating lows and euphoric joys, and grow in the process. Her objective is to write books where readers tell their kids, “Mommy’s going to take a bath” and then end up staying in the tub until the water is freezing because they can’t put the book down. She hopes her readers will be able to relax and temporarily escape the pressures of this world, as they enjoy the struggles and revel in the conquests for happily ever after.

Lorri now resides in Massachusetts with her husband and three boys. When she’s not working on her next book, she’s assisting her entrepreneurial husband, leading small groups within her church, and carting her kids from one sport to another.
