As the War of 1812 continues, Charlotte Morgan
grieves the death of her twin sister Emma Deaton, but only has a few moments left
on the Carolina coast. While Emma’s
widower husband David heads to the Great Lakes, Charlotte follows as her six
year old nephew Davie and her one year old niece Ashlyn needs her to take care
of them. To her chagrin, David’s naval
officer brother and her former suitor Conrad plans to be there for his sibling
and the kids too. Conrad conceals from
his beloved Charlotte his regret over the dumbest thing he ever did when he
dumped her making the sea his mistress; though now he hopes for a second chance.
In the Great Lakes region, David’s grief
overwhelms him with a morbid depression that leads to his ignoring his two
children, unstable for military duty and turning to alcohol to numb his
emotionally-crushing pain. Conrad and
Charlotte agree to an uneasy truce in order to care for the kids and David;
while he also tries to gain her forgiveness and regain her love. As the second war of independence heats up in
the area, Charlotte prays for the safety of her brother-in-law and her beloved
Conrad.
The third MacGregor Legacy (see For Love or
Loyalty and For Love or Country) is a wonderful War of 1812 family drama with
an incredible somewhat ravaged background.
The second chance romance engages the audience with much of the reason
being the fighting between the in-laws over what the right things are re the
grieving seemingly destructive widower and the older child’s struggles.
