The Salamander (The Dawn of America #2)

The Salamander

A dashing sea captain, tall and handsome, Jon captured hearts as easily as ships, but his own belonged to Hannah, his young wife he lost to a fever as the Revolution began.

Devastated, he sets sail with a vengeance, entrusting his young daughters to Eunice Mason, a preacher’s daughter and young widow whose quiet strength steadies his home.

Commanding the Tyrannicide, Jon seizes British prizes and vital dispatches for General Washington.

But chafing at the state’s inefficiencies and wanting more freedom, he accepts command of the privateer General Pickering, backed by Salem merchants who hail his daring and skill.

Adored by his crew and feared by the enemy, Jon soon becomes a legend, capturing ships with unmatched audacity.

Yet, he wonders if there will be another chance for love or if the sea will be his only mistress.
