About this ebook

Satisfying, Emotionally Rich Conclusion to The Southold Chronicles Series

It is 1664 and Patience Terry is devastated to learn that Captain Jeremy Horton's ship has been shipwrecked off the coast of Barbados, with no survivors. She had hoped that Jeremy would someday give up the sea and settle down with her in Southold, Long Island.

Unaware his memorial service is being planned, Jeremy is rescued and aboard a British Naval Gunship with secret orders to attack New Amsterdam and claim it for the British Crown. When he makes his surprise return to Southold--and to an overjoyed Patience--it's not the happily-ever-after his beloved had hoped for.

With a finely tuned sense for authentic historical characters and settings, Rebecca DeMarino plunges readers into the 17th century--a world of high seas and tall ships, daring journeys and yearning hearts.

Ratings and reviews

Patience Terry deserves her name. She has waited for the younger Horton brother, Jeremy, to return from his ocean adventures and settle down with her for years. When his ship wrecks and all aboard are considered lost, Patience doesn't lose faith. But readers are going to want to crawl inside the book and strangle the man for all he has put dear Patience through. What makes this story and all of the Southold Chronicles stand out is DeMarino's ability to weave the history of the era into the lives of her characters. They thrive in the midst of the conflict. Now that all three books in the series are available, readers who haven't yet experienced this family tale would enjoy buying the set and begin reading from the beginning. Supporting characters continue to appear in each novel and have important roles to play. But regardless of which book you buy, you will find the story in each compelling in its own right.
