When George dies at sea, Jonathon, 28, arrives at the Wentworth home in London to take George's "children" with him to the colonies. Emily, 17, has decided that she is fully capable of taking care of herself and her fifteen-year-old brother and plans to show her new guardian just how mature and capable she is. When they meet, both are taken aback by their immediate attraction. Jonathon fights his feelings for Emily with humor; Emily fights hers with aloofness, which only charms him more.Emily's one chance to remain in London is to marry, but when the opportunity arises, she knows she would rather follow Jonathon across an ocean to a land in upheaval than to stay safely in London. A life-threatening accident at sea requires Emily to nurse Jonathon back to health.

Eventually, they give in to their desire and Emily becomes pregnant. Jonathon's involvement in patriot activity against England disturbs Emily because she grew up a loyal subject of King George III. Unable to understand the rebellion she demands to return to London. But as they set sail, she sees Jonathon shot and captured. Heartbroken, she returns to Brentwood Manor to bear his child. Rebellion is the backdrop for misunderstanding, fear, mistrust, and danger. But it is love's destiny that Emily and Jonathon be together, even in the face of death.
