Hearts Don’t Lie

Two lost souls...each living a lie.

Jane Millbrook, sister to two brothers presumed dead in the Peninsula Wars, has fled the only home she's ever known as it was too dangerous to remain there on her own after her mother's death. She has made a life for herself as a barmaid in a dockside pub. Her new name is Brandy as a bottle of the liquor was the first thing that caught her eye when the proprietor asked her for her name.

Charles Daniel Jameson, injured while in the United States during the War of 1812, arrives home to find his fiancee married to another. He's scarred both physically and mentally and resigns his Army commission. He takes to sea under the assumed name of Captain David Jones.

After meeting at the pub, the two of them begin to step out with each other with neither having any intention of marrying anyone. Both are broken and determined to keep up the charades they each live.

Until Jane/Brandy attracts a stalker....
