He lived his life by the only rules he had ever known…
Cheerful and loyal, Sir Colin Gearing wishes for nothing more than to do what has always been expected of him: climb the ranks of the Royal Navy and (eventually) wed the younger sister of his closest friend. But despite his well-laid plans, he finds himself stranded ashore with an inexplicable ailment rendering him unfit for service. When his friend’s reputation is tainted by an unscrupulous medium, the honorable Sir Colin, desperate for a purpose, would do practically anything to help clear the man’s name… even if it means placing himself in the service of a peculiar young lady he’s only just met.
Never knowing she would so resolutely change his course…
After years of dabbling at the edges of the spiritualist world, the solemn and mysterious Charlotte Sedley finds herself stuck, frustrated by her lack of success in reaching beyond the veil. Ignoring most earthly pursuits (including courtship and romance), she is instead driven by the prospect of connecting with the deceased, wishing to commune with her long-departed mother one last time. That is, until she finds herself entangled in the affairs of a dashing young naval officer, and she realizes that perhaps there is more meaning to be found in the physical world. More, in fact, than she’d ever considered…
