One foggy September morning Captain Bruce MacGregor sails boldly past
the British warships blocking New London harbor, never suspecting that
his life is about to change dramatically...
Busily pursuing housewifely chores, Lydia Masters is startled by a
knock at her door. News of her husband's death at sea is bad enough, but
nothing compares to the scandalously hot attraction she feels right off
for the tall, handsome sea captain standing on her doorstep! Hoping a
few sharp words will send him on his way, she picks a quarrel with the
man.
Ah, but Bruce has not survived twenty skirmishes against the British
navy, only to get chased off by such a beautiful, hot-blooded young
shrew. Instead he sets out to charm the lady, even suggesting a
delightful New England custom, the "smock wedding," as the proper way to
keep her late husband's considerable debts from being passed on to... a
fine, upstanding citizen like himself!
Swept away by his roguish smiles, Lydia soon finds herself naked as
the day she was born, peeking over a modesty screen and repeating
wedding vows to this black-haired rogue-in front of half of the town
folk, too! Then, after one night of wedded bliss, this romantic patriot
bids his bride adieu and sails away to defend American waters-and gets
captured by the British!
Impatient for his speedy return home, Lydia embarks on a perilous
voyage to rescue Bruce and his crew. Shocked by his bride's reckless
behavior, Bruce soon learns there are no limits to what this woman's
love may inspire her to do!
