‘His Majesty’s ship Courageous calls all able-bodied volunteers who desire great honour by serving the Royal Navy. Loyalty, courage and gallantry will be met with warmest encouragement from Commander of the King’s ship, Captain Barton. God Save the King.’

The fourth volume from the pen of Cat Royal sees Cat become an unlikely recruit for the British Navy. Taking passage to America, she navigates her way through a fiendish plot to do away with Lord Francis, heir to a dukedom. From the grand Assembly Rooms of Bath to the wilds of a new frontier, Cat finds she is, for once, quite out of her depth.
