Prophecies and Promises - Paperback

Tamsyn McKiernan thinks her dreams have come true. She's engaged to a dashing Key West bachelor and finally in her widowed father's good graces. But in her heart, she knows something's wrong. She loves the ocean and the quiet pleasures of nature--so what does the aristocratic life she'll lead truly hold for her? Mercenary captain Drake Ashton is neck deep in preparations for the Spanish-American War, running guns and other supplies to Cuban natives who want out from under their Spanish masters. He and his brother Freddie risk their lives daily, focused on saving his friends on the island. Nothing else matters but his mission. A chance encounter with a spiny sea urchin brings the two together, and neither of their lives will ever be the same again.
