Synopsis

It is 1755, and the threat of war with France looms over colonial York, Virginia. Chocolatier Esmée Shaw is fighting her own battle of the heart. Having reached her twenty-eighth birthday, she is reconciled to life alone after a decade-old failed
love affair from which she’s never quite recovered. But she longs to find something worthwhile to do with her life.

Captain Henri Lennox has returned to port after a lengthy absence, intent on completing the lighthouse in the dangerous Chesapeake Bay, a dream he once shared with Esmée. But when the colonial government asks him to lead a secret
naval expedition against the French, his future is plunged into uncertainty.

Can Esmée and Henri’s shared vision and dedication to the colonial cause heal the wounds of the past and reunite them?

Goodreads review by Melissa on December 17, 2021

Laura Frantz is, as ever, such a lyrical and wonderfully skilled writer. A Heart Adrift has all the attention to detail, gentle romance, and loveliness I've come to expect from this author's storytelling. Plus, I'm always a sucker for a second-chance romance. Also, how gorgeous is this cover?!......more
