Description
On the eve of a voyage that will test every promise, Miranda finds herself pulled into Amanda’s carefully engineered scheme—one designed to secure an American husband who can sustain a glittering, high-society life. As romance and intrigue collide, Miranda becomes the pivotal piece in a web of plans, misdirection, and longing, even as the rogue she loves threatens to upend everything. Richard Peck’s sharp, witty storytelling blends social satire with suspense, capturing the restless ambition and moral compromises of people who believe they can outmaneuver fate. With scheming at every turn and emotions running just as deep as the ocean, this novel delivers a thrilling, character-driven journey through desire, loyalty, and the cost of reinvention.
