In 1846 Key West, Elizabeth Benjamin loves
wrecker Rourke O'Malley, but he is not what her parents want for her as her
father believes the man a dangerous scoundrel beneath their social status. Instead they expect her to go to Charleston
to make a high society match. Abetted by
her brother Charlie, Elizabeth sneaks out to see her beloved; but a storm
leaves her sibling crippled.
Four years later, escorted by Aunt Virginia
exiled Elizabeth comes home following the death of her mother. Feeling guilt over failing her mom by not
being the dutiful daughter and for what happened to Charlie, Elizabeth vows to
achieve the goal her mom set for her.
However, when their ship crashes onto the reef, Rourke and his crew
arrive only his smelling of jasmine warns him Elizabeth is back. At her house, her sanctimonious father still
believes Rourke is a pirate, acrimonious Charlie hates her, and the servants
treat her with disdain. When Elizabeth
learns the truth about her family, she considers deserting them for the love of
her wrecker, but fears the consequences on them.
This Keys of Promise Antebellum romance is a fascinating Key West
historical. The wreckers and the
heroine’s family provide solid anchors in terms of time and place, but the plot
never dives into deep waters. However,
this is Elizabeth’s tale as she will hurt someone she cherishes with her
Hobson’s choice between love for a forbidden wrecker and love for her family.
