Summary:

“Right Honorable Miss Adrienne Fairfax was the daughter and only child of Viscount William Fairfax, who, in a time before the revolution, was General George Washington's neighbor and best friend. The Fairfaxes owned all of Northern Neck, and the Viscount did not plan to lose all that income to the shifting tides of a Revolution. Miss Fairfax would marry, and she would marry well to keep her family's property. There was only one catch: the match would not only need to be deemed suitable by her father from across the Atlantic but it would be arranged by General Washington—her guardian in the Viscount and Viscountess' absence.

Lt. Colonel John Laurens was a man several years older than his betrothed: 23 to 17. The match was an ultimatum from his father, the President of the Continental Congress. John wanted to leave his studies in England to fight, and his marriage was the price of his honorary commission.

Adrienne had always been stupidly ambitious, and she would do whatever it takes to get only the best. She had goals to reach. Goals she’d never achieve if she did not jump at every opportunity to fulfill them. This godforsaken winter camp was a sacrifice she must make to have a say in the rest of her life.”

“Anna Smith and Abe Woodhull's engagement has been dissolved by their fathers' clashing loyalties and ambitions in an increasingly divided New York. Judge Woodhull thinks the Smiths'—social climbers and critics of British policies—threaten his standing.

Selah Strong, the eldest of Setauket's wealthiest family, spent most of his life at Strong Manor, which looms over the town literally and figuratively. The Strongs have a reputation as pillars of society, but behind closed doors, Selah’s father is quietly funding smuggling efforts. Selah has long since been captivated by Anna, watching her from the windows of the Strong family's fortress, and begins courting her at his father's behest. What starts as a practical alliance deepens into genuine affection for Selah, but Anna finds herself bored with Selah’s gentlemanly pursuits.

As Anna brings him further from the safety of the manor's walls, Selah emerges as a leader in Long Island's Patriot circles. Anna, now Selah’s fiancée, is drawn from their whispered plans to navigate the social pressures of their impending marriage. With their marriage, Strong Manor stands as both a symbol of privilege and a hub of rebellion looming over Setauket as its fate approaches.”
