Casco Bay, Maine (Circa 1890)

Maria Scholte is running from her late husband’s family in Europe and finds herself immigrating to America through Portland Maine. She lands on an island in Casco Bay and at the mercy and gratitude of a local shipping tycoon. There is an intense attraction between herself and Captain Jim O’Hara. Occupied with managing his fleet, the captain puts her in the hands of his friend and attorney, a consulate for Canadian and Maine relations. Eli Perrier is a much different man. Enigmatic but also frustrating, the two travel up and down the New England coast. The three relationships intertwine as Mariah seeks her way forward in a new country.
