Sullivan O'Brien, a steamboat captain committed to aiding enslaved people on their path to freedom, is faced with an ultimatum from his father.

As he and Enya face the trials of their pasts and a city consumed by fire, they must confront their deepest fears and learn to trust in love, even when darkness threatens to engulf them.

Reviews
"Anchored by a colorful cast of returning characters, the narrative finds its heart in Enya and Sullivan's delicately drawn love story, and the winding path they take to happiness makes it all the more satisfying when they get there. This has more than enough to keep Hedlund's fans invested in the series."
Publishers Weekly
"The tantalizing second title in Hedlund's Shanahan Match historical romance series . . . is a beautifully sensitive exploration of marital intimacy. . . . The theme of beauty from brokenness joins with the novel's slow burn that sizzles without comprising values, resulting in a tale that positively glows."
