Volume #1 in The Contraband Shore trilogy. Recently paid off from his frigate and comfortably off with prize money, Captain Edward Brazier heads to Deal to propose marriage to young widow Betsey Langridge. But all does not go well; between Betsy’s brother and guardian, Henry Tulkington, prohibiting the match and Brazier marked out for trouble by a local smuggling gang, his plans fall into disarray.
