In the winter of 1795, Pearce serves aboard HMS Flirt within Horatio Nelson’s squadron while his pregnant lover tries to preserve her respectability in Britain. A former friend, Henry Digby, has become another enemy within the service.

Reconnaissance against the French coast leads to raids, the destruction of a battery and dangerous fighting ashore. Pearce must contend with divided loyalties and an antagonistic captain if he is to survive and return to Emily.
